Hi ATO community,
Do the items recorded in G14 get included in G11?
Step 3 on 'Completing you BAS' states "At G11, you need to report all of your business purchases relevant to the reporting period (other than those reported at G10)" however step 4 says "You don't report G14 on your BAS, but you need to show it in your records – it is used to calculate the amount that you report at 1B on your BAS"
It looks like my organisation has been including G14 in the G11 amount however the more I've been looking into it the more certain I am that is incorrect and G14 should be kept off our BAS but part of our records as stated in step 4.
Looking through the ATO's 'Simpler BAS GST bookkeeping guide', it shows that there are some GST free expenses that should still be reported on the BAS, mainly mixed GST transactions such as Government rates. Should the GST-free amounts be included in G11 in step 3? Is there another line where this amount gets reported seperately? My organisations accounting software doesn't allow manual overrides of the GST as suggested in the guide (GST must equal 10% of ex-GST amount) so this might cause it some difficulty.
Thanks for your advice
