BAS/VAT Report
Has the setup of the BAS report / VAT Report with the Tax Codes been done and approved by the Accountant??
When creating a new Account/Product you must select a Tax Code for the account, this tax code will then auto load when creating transactions within ERP. It is important to ensure that the correct Tax Code is used as the entries made will automatically feed into the BAS/VAT reports. If the Tax Codes are incorrect for an Account/Product this will affect the report.
Below is a list of the Tax Codes that are pre-configured in ERP Software. Some of these codes will never be used by the majority of businesses and are therefore inactive by default but can be made active if required.
- To Access Tax Codes Select the Accounts drop down menu at the top left of the main screen
- From the Drop Down Select Tax Codes and then Select Tax Code List
- Active tax codes are Ticked in the list
- To Activate a Tax Code Double click on the code and tick Active in the new window that opens and select Save
N.B the option Tax Code is also available from this Drop Down and is used to create a new tax code. Always consult your Accountant and ERP Support before creating a new tax code as there may be implications for reporting.
Tax Code Description
CAF Capital Acquisition - GST Free
CAG Capital Acquisition - Inc GST
CAI Capital Acquisition - for making Input Tax
E Tax Exempt
EXP GST Free Exports
FRE GST Free Supplies
GST Supplies Including GST
NT No Tax
INP Input Taxed Sales
NCF Non-Capital Acquisition - GST Free
NCG Non-Capital Acquisition - Inc GST
NCI Non-Capital Acquisition - for making Input Tax
WC Combined WET and WEG
WET Wine Equalisation Tax
WGST GST on Wine Equalisation Tax
You should Not replace any of the above codes as reports such as your BAS depend on the Correct Tax Code being used.
N.B. ERP requires your Accountant to configure the BAS setup to ensure correct reporting to the ATO. The BAS report depends on the correct Tax Codes being used in transactions. Please familiarise yourself with ERP's tax codes before proceeding.
