Variance in GST return and GST report

DJade · June 2022

Hi, could anyone please kindly advise why there's a variance between the GST report and GST return? Which figures should I use to report in the BAS?

Hi @DJade and @KG5

So that I can look into this can you tell me if you have any transactions that include both income and expense accounts? If you go into lodge your activity statements, which amount is prefilled for 1B?

Cheers,
Tracey

Hi @Tracey_H , I do have transactions with expense account and asset account. My file is not authorised to lodge BAS from MYOB so I can't check for the prefilled figures in 1B.

Hi, I'm having this same issue. Did you ever receive a resolution? I can't work out why the 'GST return report' is showing a different figure at 1B, compared to the 'GST report'.

I'm having the same issue. It would be helpful if MYOB would show how an issue was resolved (assuming it was?)

@Enough @JosieBaxter , hi, I haven't receive the response from MYOB regarding this but I would recommend you use the figure in the GST report. As I studied, the figure in the GST return is caculated by taking the total purchase and dividing it by 11.

For example in my case, I have some transactions that I allocate as GST but I adjust the tax amount lesser than 10% of the total amount (eg. purchased 11$ allocated with GST, GST supposed to be $1 but I adjusted it to be $0.5). The GST return will report $1 as GST on purchase which is incorrect and the GST report will report $0.5.

On the other hand, if you split the transactions to determine the GST amount and FRE amount, the GST return will report correctly (eg. $5.5 allocated with GST and $5.5 allocated with FRE => $0.5 GST).

That's my case and I think there might be more case which make the variance between the 2 reports. However, hope this will help you to know which report to choose.
