Record Your BAS Payment/Refund to ATO

Back Top Previous Next

In the majority of cases, payment is made to the ATO each GST period, and that payment is made up of what is owed them less what is to be credited.

 

First, ensure there is a cardfile for the Australian Taxation Office in the Jim2 database. If not, add one to easily track all payments made to the ATO.

 

The actual amount of each payment needs to be recorded correctly, and reflect how it is apportioned against the general ledger liability accounts to accurately debit and credit those running balances – record the payment to reflect what was actually lodged on the BAS.

 

Info

Ensure that the GST liability figures from the previous system are entered as opening balances against the relevant GST liability accounts in Jim2. The payment (or refund) in Jim2 will clear these out.
