Simpler BAS - GST Reconciliation Report

GST Reconciliation report to work using the Simpler BAS option. It doesn't seem to pull anything that's already been filed/finalised through using this report

    This function is very critical. Please fix this ASAP

    How can this have been overlooked? OMFG. We can not use the new reporting untill this is resolved. Not to mention the worksheet...

    Manually adding Filed amounts into the GST reconciliation report

    Would love to be able to go back and add Filed amounts in the GST reconciliation report from ATO portal to clear out old Unfiled amounts. Save it and have Xero remember these once Published or Saved

  • Shane Mackenzie commented  ·   ·  Report

    Often we lodge our BAS/GST return with the ATO and subsequently find errors in coding of GST or need to add transactions. This means the balance of GST accounts changes and no longer agrees to the BAS that was lodged. Trying to reconcile what changes have been made is near impossible. This is problematic in the event of ATO audit as we need to be able to show full transaction support for the BAS lodged.
    Quickbooks Online has a great feature that deals with this. It generates the BAS, and once lodged you can click 'mark as lodged'. If you subsequently make changes in the period that affect GST, it includes those in a subsequent period's BAS as "prior period adjustments" and can produce a detailed audit report of those transactions. It means that for any BAS ever lodged, it can produce a report of exactly which GST transactions are included in the BAS lodgement for the period.
    It would be great if Xero could do the same!
    thank you

    This is one of the reasons I refuse to use the new BAS option - I and my clients are still using the old activity statement because checking that changes or mistakes from previous periods are taken up within the time span that the ATO allows is kind of important.

    This function is very critical, as i have many clients and exporting to excel and manually entering figures is time consuming and figures are not always correct as do not filter to outstanding GST balance at end of sheet.

    Yes, the GST Reconciliation report is not too efficient at present - the inability to update for historical information that can be saved to the default report is frustrating and inefficient - could you please look into this as soon as possible

    Thanks

    This needs to be bumped up the line and prioritised for a fix as the report requires manual adjustments to reflect true figures.

    This report is therefore not accurate and should be called a worksheet. You can not reconcile anything until you do your own calculation every time.
