GST Report in Solo: Know your numbers without the headache

If you want a quick, clear view of the GST you’ve collected and paid over a set period, the GST Report is the place to start. 

It pulls together your business activity and shows your GST position in a simple breakdown, so you can see what’s been happening. 

Note: This report is only visible if your business is set up as Registered for GST in Solo. If GST isn’t enabled in your Business settings, you won’t see it in your Reports list.

How the GST Report works 

The GST Report is built from your transactions and grouped into key sections of your business activity. 

It’s structured into clear areas like: 

• Sales and income  
• Purchases and expenses  
• GST summary section  

Each section helps you see how GST is flowing through your business over the selected period. 

Depending on your data, the layout may vary slightly, but the structure is designed to keep GST reporting simple and consistent. 

What the report shows 

The report breaks transactions down into clear lines so you can understand what’s been recorded and how GST has been applied. 

You’ll typically see: 

• Tax code (for example GST, N-T / not reportable)  
• Description of the transaction  
• Rate applied (for example 10%)  
• Category code & category name (what type of income or expense it is)  
• Date of the transaction  
• ID number  
• Memo (if included)  

Each section is grouped by account type, such as: 

• Sales  
• Purchases and expenses  

This gives you a clean breakdown of where GST is coming from and going to, without needing to manually piece it together. 

 

Filtering and exporting the data 

If you export the report as Excel (CSV), you can take things further by: 

• Sorting by date or amount  
• Reviewing specific periods in more detail  
• Using filters to analyse your GST activity alongside other financial data  

Exporting is especially helpful if you want to cross-check figures or share details with your accountant.
