NZ GST - GST 101A return
I have come across an issue where a client who is GST registered wanted their refund transferred to Provisional Tax. The only 2 options in Xero are GST 101 (GST only) and GST 103 (GST and Provisional Tax). I chose the GST 103 option and the Estimate option under that.
The return was rejected by the IRD as a GST 103 return is for the Ration option only. I was told the return/option I needed to file is a GST 101A.
This is not available in Xero
I have never had the IRD reject this before so I am not sure if it is an issue that has arisen from the new GST update in Xero or a pedantic investigator but either way there is no actual correct option for a GST registered person to return GST and Provisional Tax together unless they are registered under the Ratio option which would be a very small margin of taxpayers.

Hi Sharlene, taking a deeper dive I see you were also in touch with our Xero Support team on this and through a bit more investigation after your idea was raised here, they appear to have helped you resolve this issue.
I'll shortly remove your idea from the forum here, but if you have any further questions on this please do come back into our specialists through the case you raised - you should be able to do this through your My cases 🙂
