GST and BAS

Thanks for your update, hbscoresby@optus.

I understand the need to be able to reconcile your BAS in QuickBooks Online. Here's how you can record the GST paid while you're not using the GST center in QuickBooks Online.

1. Click on the + New button.
2. Click on Journal Entry.
3. Fill out details like date and etc.
4. On the first line item, under Debit column use GST Liabilities Payable account and enter the amount.
5. Next line is under Credit and choose the Bank account the payment went out and enter the amount.
6. GST code is Out of Scope.
7. Click Save and Close.

Then, you should be able to match the Journal entry to the payment in the bank feeds. You can check this link for a more detailed step on how to record the Journal entry when not using the GST center To record a GST Payment when you don't use the Lodge BAS function in the GST Centre.
