How do I account for a payment that has more GST in it than 10%.

Debbie this used to happen with Telstra bills. Telstra being who they are were allowed to charge all the GST up front (why I don't know) however us as measly little businesses are only allowed to claim 1/11 of what we pay.
That means it doesn't matter if you try and claim the full GST amount you are only allowed to claim 1/11 of your payment.
The thing is just to put it in as normal, the program will automatically take 1/11 which you then claim back from the ATO.
Don't worry it all works out at the end of the year.

Thanks Charles - but unfortunately I have to claim it all now, better for business etc - the loan is over 60 months and the accountant will want it claimed now as the gst charge has been now. Any other ideas? I remember doing it once before but can't remember the how to!!0

Might need to set up a new tax code? - As I'm not an Accountant or Tax agent, I can't confirm (nor can I legally offer advice in ) the Legal/Accounting aspect of this, but from a technical viewpoint that is the only was I can see 100% tax being charged/calculated.1

Sorry but you can't claim it all now, ATO Ruling something or other I think somewhere in GSTR 2013/11

Thanks - I'll just let the accountant deal with it!0

Oops Rule change Div 158 of the GST Act says you can do it now. I wouldn't do it as a new tax code I'd make the whole transaction a journal entry to accounts payable and then allocate the client etc2

Thats why you are the Accountant Charles, and I a Community Manager-Law Student!0

AAH Mirko, yes I did 4 years of Law, never finished, ended up having to make a choice between Law and bringing up kids and eating. Kids and eating won.1

I'd say you picked the far more rewarding path Charles! I'd do the same in a heartbeat. Thanks so much for your ongoing help on the Community. ^Mirko0

I put the bill in creditors and use the CAG as the tax code. I then change the tax code amount to what i want to claim. that worked for me.0

Is the loan for a purchase of motor vehicle or equipment? You will need to get correct advice from your accountant though you generally claim the total GST in the BAS period the item was purchased if this is the case your accountant should advice how they would like this set up as you will need to set up a liability &. GST is not claimable on monthly loan payments.2

Hi Debbie,
Say the GST amount is $5000 and the bill itself is $6000 in total.
If you enter a bill into the system for $55,000 (incl GST) on one line and then the other $1000 on another line that is GST-free (total $56,000). Then if you enter a bill credit for the $50,000 (no tax code) using the same account as before. This will give you a net amount owing of $6000.
Would this work?
Kind regards,
