ForJ/E for GST owing for sales not on GST report to end of December 2019.   ITC's to claim $2141.88 owing $4847.93 Net owing $2706.05 What would the entry be?

Hello @sherrilrflint ,

 

Is there a reason why the GST owing for sales is not on your GST report?  Just curious . . .

 

I'm not clear on whether none of this GST has actually been posted to the GST/HST payable account, or if it is part of your GST/HST balance but is just not showing up on your report.

 

If it's all in your account and you want a JE for a manual payment, it would look something like this:

 

                                                                   DR                                       CR                         Sales Tax

GST/HST Payable                              4,847.92                                                            GST/HST - Line 103

GST/HST Payable                                                                          2,141.88             GST/HST (ITC) - Line 106

Bank                                                                                                 2,706.05

 

If you have GST that is not showing up in your report, it is likely due to manual JE's containing the a GST/HST Payable account, but for which no Sales Tax field has been entered.  When you do manual JE's containing the GST/HST Payable account, you must tab across the JE to the Sales Tax Field and enter the appropriate tax line.  If you do this, then even though you've made manual entries, all of those amounts will show up on your report.  See below:

This is not a good example because it's not a real entry, but it illustrates what you have to do in the Sales Tax field, depending on whether your entry is for a purchase or a sale.  If there are not too many transactions involved, you could go back and add the Sales Tax lines into all you manual GST/HST entries and then your sales tax report will be correct for 2019.

 

Hope this helps . . . good luck!
