    Hi LearnerJan 

     

    When reporting a transaction in AccountRight for GST purposes the type of transaction plays a part on what side of the reporting it will be listed under.

    If that value is intended to be included as Tax paid it would need to be recorded on a payment style transaction i.e. as a Spend Money or Purchase transaction.
