Purchases that are GST free & GST from a supplier who is not registered for GST

[ToniM1]

Hi,

I think I'm overthinking in the following scenario and would appreciate any guidance and clarification.

• Coffee Van that is registered for GST & PAYG Withholding has just been purchased from the previous owner, who was not registered for GST.
• The new owner has purchased stock, to the value of $500 for coffee (Free) $150; milk (Free) $50; softdrinks (GST) $120 and snacks (GST) $180
• When I record the invoice from the previous owner (who I set up as a supplier as GNR), do I enter all the items as GNR or enter them as their correct tax codes, i.e. Free or GST?

I just want to make sure that I'm doing it correctly.

Thanks in advance
