Reverse Charge GST on Digital Goods

Hi,

I can't seem to find a solution on how to record reverse charge GST on digital goods. I'm using MYOB Business Lite. Everything I've tried either doesn't show up in the MYOB BAS report or doesn't allow me to reconcile the bank transaction.

 

I have a bank transaction for $37.85 which the amount paid to the overseas supplier. To comply with the ATO, I need to add GST on top of this amount and record a GST credit for the amount paid. See ATO site: QC17450

 

I've tried to record it into a single transaction (with negative amounts, different and/or custom tax codes) which always leaves me unable to match to the bank transaction because it thinks $41.64 is the amount paid.

 

I've tried to create a journal entry with the category being the GST account however, it seems like the BAS report doesn't look at the categories - just the tax codes.

 

I've even tried creating custom tax codes however, they also don't appear in the BAS report.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Note: Please don't suggest going and seeing an accountant (as suggested on similar community posts). If I was using a spreadsheet, I could do this easily. I'm struggling with how MYOB works - not the fundamental concept.

    Hi Stuart_,

     

    Thanks for explaining what you’ve tried. Hopefully one of the legends here in the Community Forum can share how they’ve handled this in MYOB Business. That said, the best option is to consult your accountant to confirm the correct GST treatment for your circumstances and how it should be recorded in MYOB. 

     

    Regards,
