Setting up GST

This page has been deprecated, click here to see new documentation.

The Workbench transaction line GST values that have been system calculated or manually entered will be the values imported into MYOB. However, the BASLink function in MYOB recalculates the GST values based on the gross value of the invoice which means that if during Workbench data entry the GST value was changed for some valid reason the BASLink process will calculate a GST value that is different to the source document. This scenario applies even if the GST value is edited in MYOB.

If your business has the need to edit GST values we recommend that you do not use the BASLink function but manually compile your BAS Statement using the Transaction reports in MYOB.

Note: - If this is not setup correctly the MYOB import just goes ahead with the import without any GST.

Set up the GST types in Workbench to equate to the Tax types in MYOB.

Find the GST Codes in MYOB
Go To Lists then GST Codes.

Enter these into the GST Type Maintenance in Workbench.

In Workbench the GST type is entered against the Sales Code for AR & the Activity Code for AP.

Accounts Receivable

For Sales (AR) the GST Type Code for every transaction will come from the GST Type on the Sales Code.

Where the Control Parameter 'Display AP GST Type' has been set to Yes:

• The Job Invoice Entry screen displays the GST type as Read only on a line by line basis.
• Where you enter a Sales Code on a Non-derived line you can only select a Sales Code that has a GST Type.

Accounts Payable

For Purchases (AP) the GST Type Code for every transaction will come from the GST Type on the Activity Code.

In the Data Entry screen the GST type is displayed and can be changed on a line by line basis where the Control Parameter 'Display AP GST Type' has been set to Yes.
