When I Record GST Payment why do get error "You cannot create or modify transactions in the period for which tax returns are already filed."? Am posting old entries!

We have old data we have not yet processed so there is a list of GST pmts awaiting completion. They are for qtrly GST periods Jul16-Sep16, Oct16-Dec16, etc onwards so I need a workaround please so they clear off and the bank account is duly updated. Any help would be great, Thank you.

Hi Cparnell,

Thank you for reaching out to us in regards to your query.

If you are trying to record payments for previous BAS's filed from the GST centre, the payment date will only allow you to record it after the last lodged BAS date.

To show the correct date of these payments you would need to do a manual journal entry to record these payments.

I would suggest reaching out to your bookkeeper or accountant in regards to this query. As every business works differently I am not able to suggest the exact accounts you would need to do the journal for.

If you’re still having issues with this please get in touch with our care team so they can help you out with this, to access our support channels please Click Here
