Hi, I have realised that GST was inadvertently deducted in a past GST return that should have been tax exempt. How do I correctly include this in the current GST period so it hits both the balance sheet and the tax detail report? Raising a journal against the GST code only seem to get it into the Balance Sheet and not the Tax Detail Report creating a discrepancy between the two.

    I would do a reversal of the original transaction by journal

    e.g.

    Cr. advertising. 500. NCG

    Dr advertising. 550. Tax exempt code or no code

    Just to add to what Kris has said, if the transaction has already been reported in a previous BAS lodgement, the journal entry that Kris describe above, needs to be dated in the "current" BAS reporting period i.e. the period for which a BAS is still to be lodged.
