I am having difficulty in entering GST paid on imported goods.

I received invoice from shipping agent with fees and charges along with GST amount paid to customs. Have looked up and read a few responses from other members, and I'm confused.

Is there a step by step guide anywhere?

    I enter it like this. A bill from shipping agent for 5000 including GST of 3000 (because it’s always an odd amount

    Purchases 30000. NCG. 3000

    Purchases. -28000. NCF

    Hi Kris I've read comments advising this is not the correct way. Does the GST get picked up on the activity report.

    Hi @Zeus2018

    Kris is on the right track - I have a guide with step-by-step info that I’ve written up on this as the tax coding for the original purchase & customs charges allocations needs to be quite specific.

    If you’d like to shoot me an email direct, I’m happy to send it through to you ☺️
