    Hi paddyr , for point 2, and AR & AP reports, the reconciliation reports can be backdated, but the "aged" repots can not. 

     

    For GST, yes the account balances will accumulate. You can record a general journal at the end of each GST period for the new return (simple example only):

    Dr GST on sales

    Cr GST on Expenses

    Cr GST Payments & Refunds (if GST is due, DR if you expect a refund).

     

    If your end of year accounts are prepared by external accountants, they may do that for you, so that only current amounts are carried forward to the new financial year.

    Hi paddyr , you could run the payables with tax report (which can be backdated) and remove the GST column.

     

    PS I recommend starting a new thread for a new topic.
