Payroll item with GST

Barbara Allen-Guthrie

I wish to create a Payroll Item which includes GST for repaying an employee for cabfares taken

Charley

Barbara; you should keep it totally away from payroll. While you might have paid it with his pay it is neither an allowance or anything to do with his pay, it is in fact just a reimbursement for costs incurred. Effectively the best way to do this is to pay them separately in two payments and never through one payment.

If you have done it this one time then run the two payments through a clearing account and then transfer the exact amount paid from the operating to the clearing account

Thank you Charley when I ran the STP report I was thinking this would not be good to have a cabfare in here, so I will do as you suggest, appreciate that
