Hello,

I am trying to record a payment to the ATO. I have selected Pay Tax via the Supplier Centre. The ATO is set up as a tax agency, yet the warning message is still popping up when I try to record the cheque.

Can anyone advise how to overcome this?

Thankyou

    Hi Kate

    Which tax are you trying to enter payment for ?

    If it's for GST, check in your Preferences (under the Edit dropdown menu) - under Tax - that you have Australian Taxation Office selected there as the default:

    ... & also that your Tax Items (access the list under your Lists dropdown menu) each have it selected too:

    Hi Shaz,


    I'm trying to enter a BAS that comprises of GST, FTC and a PAYG Instalment.

    I'll have a look at your suggested checks now.

    Thankyou
