Entering Rent Received with Expenses and how it is processed through to BAS

Hi Lisa

Thank you for your response to my problem.

This is basically what I am doing, with the exception that I use N-T for the rent as the code rather than FRE. 

What is happening in the GST reporting is that the negative portions of the receive money transaction which are the expenses with GST go into the sale value column in negative, with tax collected also as a negative.  This is not necessarily incorrect as these are expenses so they are just being reported as a negative sale with negative gst, and at the end it should work.  However in the BASlink, these go across as negative figures into the sales, and into gst collected.  And the ATO do not accept negatives in the BAS.

We have no sales in this entity that are recorded with gst to offset the above. 

I have tried entering the transactions as a GJ instead, hoping that the affect on the GST reporting and therefore BASlink are not the same, but have found this also does not work.  There are negatives in the N-T values which again just throw the BASlink out completely.

I guess I have always had other sales in the same company with gst as well as income of rent without gst minus expenses with gst and this has offset these negatives. 

Im not sure if there is anything I can set up in BASlink differently? 

Thank you so much for your advice, it is greatly appreciated, I am so frustrated by this.

Thank you
