Hi,
I have been registered for GST since obtaining an ABN in 2012. I did some contract work at the time, but have mostly been in full-time employment after that and haven't required it.
Since becoming a SAHM, I have restarted as a sole trader (writer) and voluntarily charged GST on my services since July 2023 (I knew I wouldn't reach the $75k threshold but did it with future growth in mind).
I did not receive a BAS from the ATO for Q1. I had collected $363 in GST sales in that period, but I figured that must mean that because I was collecting voluntarily, that I would submit the information at the end of the financial year.
However, I then received a BAS for Q2 and Q3 but submitted as NIL as I wasn't working that period due to an injury.
I have now received a BAS for Q4 and collected $25 in GST sales for that period, but on my BAS, there is no field to fill in GST sales. There is only the T7 PAYG Instalment Amount (which is automatically filled in as $0 based on my 2023 assessment).
Long story short, I have a very small amount to pay in GST which I have recorded and set aside, but I am freaking out a little bit as I have no idea where to declare it or how to pay it. Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
