Hi,
I have claimed GST on a purchase invoice and just find that that this invoice is not supposed to be payable by me. When I do the adjustment for this in the current BAS, the total value of G11 and 1B become negative. How can I record the negative 1B on the BAS Portal since it doesn't accept negative figures?
Thanks.
Hello there @Efaith,
To correct paying too little GST, you need to make the adjustment at the 1A label not 1B. This is why you would be showing a negative figure. When you are making an adjustment like this you are telling us you claimed too much GST. To fix this you add the overclaimed amount to the payable or 1A label.
If you're not sure about this, you always have the option to amend the period that the credit was overclaimed.
