Hello Jess-Lofi,

 

In your other post you identified a suitable article, so I thought I would reiterate the information here in case it helps others.

 

This is an article on recording 100% GST transactions.

 

That article provides an example of how to record 100% GST, but there are a few notes to make on it:

  • Ignore the Insurance and Tax lines used in the example, they detract from the core principle of the process. Only the 'Goods' lines are required for the process indicated.
  • That example, and effectively your transaction, are meant to be marked as Exclusive of GST. If you use Inclusive of GST, you will end up with a negative figure on your Profit & Loss.
  • The GST amount is always calculated as a percentage of the base amount in the lines of your transaction. If you haven't been doing so already, take the pure GST amount that you wish to pay, and work backwards to determine the base amount you need to input in order for the system to calculate that much GST.
