[GNC] Accounting for GST in Australia

[Alan Hopkins]

   Hello again Nathan
   Unfortunately I am not quite sure of the set-up you have so it is hard
   to comment.
   However, have you set up GST as a Liability Account parent account
   Liabilities and the GST Received sub-account using the GST liability
   account as "parent"?  If you haven't done that then the transaction GST
   transaction will not be entered in the ledger.
   Sorry if the above is a bit garbled but I'm in a rush!
   Good luck!
   Cheers
   Alan

   Hello Alan Thanks for your reply.
   We are aware of the need to split transactions not entered as bills or
   invoices.
   However, we are entering invoices through the invoicing system within
   Gnucash, and the tax amount shows correctly on the actual invoice
   entry, but the amount of tax is not going to the GST accounts on the
   chart of accounts. How can we check the set-up to determine exactly why
   this is or what do we need to do in order to make the GST go to that
   account in the chart of accounts?
   Appreciate your help on this,
   And thanks Christopher, yes we did read that article but it doesn't
   seem to be working correctly.
   regards Nathan

   Hi Nathan
   Are you using GnuCash to generate your bills & invoices?  If not, when
   making entries directly into your accounts you won't see the GST
   automatically.  When entering invoices & bills you need to check the
   Taxable? & Tax Included? columns
   Otherwise, when making direct entries to your accounts you need to use
   "Splits" and add the GST manually.
   The above may not be clear but once we know more about how you are
   attempting to do things we might be able to help.
   Cheers

Hi,
I have recently started using GnuCash and am having difficulty in
attributing GST to the GST accounts as set up in the chart of accounts. I
have included the relevant posting accounts in the tax table area, but new
entries aren't picking up the GST amount. What am I missing? Do you need to
see screen shots of my setup to verify what I am experiencing?
best regards
