The GST report is separated into two sections: GST Invoiced (accrual accounting) and GST Received (cash accounting). The report has been designed this way so that users will benefit from it, whichever accounting method they use.

How the GST Report is Defined

The GST report is calculated based on date of entry. This means, for example, that a GST-inclusive Tax Invoice generated on 1 July, for a service that was provided on 30 June, will be included in a report covering the month of July, but not in a report covering the month of June.

How to Interpret this Report

The GST Invoiced section reports the dollar amounts of invoices where GST was involved, and the GST input for those amounts. It also takes into account, and subtracts, any write-offs or discounts that may have been applied.
