Hi , I am hoping someone can help me. I'm new with Reckon hosted. we have a credit card that we use to pay bills with. The bank automatically takes out the amount of the credit card from our bank account. I reconcile the credit card and then write out a cheque for the amount. But now the payments I have been making from the bank are coming up on the Tax Code Exception Report. I don't know how to fix this. Please help.

    Yes thank you. So the cheque does not get coded?

    No, because you’ve already coded the individual credit card expenses - correct?

    Yes, I agree with Kris - You should have all the expenses already entered with applicable tax codes.

    The credit card payment is simply a movement of funds from your bank account to your credit card account (like a loan repayment) The credit card balance is not an expense, but a liability (eg that you owe) - The taxable transaction is the goods or services actually purchased.

    The Tax Code Exception Report is a good way to check you haven't forgotten to code something that should be! In this scenario, the repayment should definitely NOT be coded (if you've entered the Bills/Receipts/ Credit Card Charge transactions) 😊

    I believe this report shows things that don’t go on BAS, I never use it. The cheque that you write out for the credit card is not meant to go on BAS. - is this what you are asking?
