We sold a MV and I processed the payment we received in "Record Deposits".

It didnt show any GST portion so I reduced the net amount and included a line for GST.

This reduced my tax to pay which is correct but now my rec is out by about the same amount…🤔

Thanks for any help that can be offered.

    it’s best to do a Cash Sale or invoice using an item called Sale of motor vehicle with a tax code of GST

    The make deposits window is only used for things that don’t need a tax code, which for income is rare. Mainly bank transfers etc

    Thank you Kris, however I'm confused. I found where to enter a cash sale.

    It has the gross amount showing in the bank as a deposit, but the net amount as a payment?

    when you enter a cash sale there is a box to show what bank you want to deposit it to. You need to delete any other entries you have already made. Feel free to call me 0415 940843

    Now my GST return looks alot better but out by $89.

    Where do you look for this? Had a quick look at the GST portions on the TAX 101 report but ??

    Thanks

    what do you mean it’s out by 89, compared to what?

    My reconciliation spreadsheet that takes the GST control, Debtors & Creditors from the balance sheet.

    And the GST to pay from the 101 report.

    a bit hard to tell without seeing the details, I use the tax summary report for my BAS, everything you need is in Reckon. I have other ways of proving that my figures are all correct, but that’s another lesson
