GST adjustments in Essentials
- 2 years ago
Hi MMM-NZ Mark,
First of all you need to create a loan account for the loan balance in your chart of accounts.
Then do a spend money transaction adding 4 lines.
1st line - purchase of new vehicle inc GST
2nd line - less trade in value in a negative amount
3rd line - add the cost of PPSR and any application fee
4th Line - balance goes off to loan account created.
Amount comes back to NIL transaction total - unless you paid a deposit
With the second issue - you need to again to do a NIL value spend money transaction - coding to total payments made with no GST, and then a second line with the same value in negative with the same amount inc GST. This will pay back the GST you have claimed incorrectly.
Using a spend money transactions makes sure that this transaction is included on the payment basis for GST - which I'm assuming you are on.
Hope this helps.
