    Hi Meenakshi , you are preparing GST returns on a different basis to your accounts, and so there will always be differences between what you return for GST and your GST account balances.

     

    The difference can be reconciled as follows:

     

    (1) GST on income

    Take the movement for this account during the return period

    Add the GST on debtors at the beginning of the period

    Deduct the GST on debtors at the end of the period

    This figure should equal  the GST returned on a payments basis.

     

    The GST on debtors can be found using the "Receivables with GST report" (in AccountRight).

     

    (2) GST on expenses

    Take the movement for this account during the return period

    Add the GST on creditors at the beginning of the period

    Deduct the GST on creditors at the end of the period

    This figure should equal the GST claimed on a payments basis.

     

    The GST on creditors can be found using the "Payables with GST report" (in AccountRight).

     

    The movement figures should exclude (add back) amounts (if any) relating to payment of previous GST returns.
