ATO Payments

After a bumpy journey to managing our taxes, we have now set up a payment plan with the ATO. We have made regular payments to the ATO for varying amounts as we aim to clear our tax debt, but now I'm unsure how to categorise these in my banking feed in order to complete my BAS. Can anyone advise?

Hi unsurebookkeeper,

 

For the GST payment showing on the For Review tab, you can allocate it to an ATO Clearing account. The ATO Clearing account is where the amount payable or refunded from the ATO will be posted when once you lodge your BAS or IAS using the GST function in QuickBooks Online.

 

If you have lodged your BAS on a specific period, you'll need to record the payment first on the GST tab so you can match it to the payment in the For Review tab. Simply select Record payment on the lodged BAS and enter details needed. 

 

Please see links below for details on categorising a tax payment:
