GST

Thanks for the additional info, Evon25.

 

We can create an expense transaction to record the paid GST on imported products. Here's how:

  1. Go to the +New button and select Expense.
  2. Enter the necessary details such as the payment account, date, and payee.
  3. Under Category details, select an expense account related to the imported goods and enter 0.01 in the Amount column.
  4. From the GST column, select the paid GST type.
  5. On the second line, select the same account. Enter -0.01 in the Amount column, then choose “Out of scope” for the tax code.
  6. Edit the GST field below the Subtotal to reflect the amount of tax paid.
  7. Select Save.

Once done, this also reflects on your GST reports. 

 

Additionally, I still suggest seeking some advice from your accountant on how to properly record paid GST on imported goods.
