GST return discrepancy

Why is my GST return total does not match with figures in the general ledger and gst detail report. the ledger and the details match but not the gst return report

  • Hi Louie_kwj,

     

    Thanks for your post. Usually, the GST report lists all transactions recorded based on the tax code used, while the GST return shows the GST summary for activity statement purposes. We recommend double-checking the sales transactions recorded with your accountant to determine if a different tax code should be used or if they should be recorded as negative purchases so they can be reported in the activity statement. 

     

    Feel free to write a post if you need further assistance.

     

    Cheers,

    Jem

      we are using both AR and the live version but the live one is different to the GST summary and all other reports matched.

      THE GST Return Report on Browser version and AccountRight are different but if you confirm the figures in the GL and GST details, they matched with the total on GST summary as per AR version

    I am having the exact same issue. The GST GL report in the live version shows different GST Paid and GST received to the GST Detail report in AR (same period).

    Hi Louie_kwj and Kristie,

     

    I understand that the difference in the browser version and the desktop version make it confusing. I recommend reading through this article 'Why the GST Report in the Browser is Different to AccountRight Desktop', as this might cause of the difference.
