    gst paid on purchase

    Hi..I have used SA for a couple years but have run into a little glitch. My GST paid on purchases seems to be accumulating as I do each period adjustment. I use the vendor option, file each month. GST paid is put in as negative and totals are all fine but in the accounts, it clears the GST charged but is totalling the GST paid instead of clearing it. I had no problem with this last year..the gst Paid was a neg number and the gst owing was correct...I know I've messed up a setting somewhere...class option..not sure but any help would be appreciated.

    Hi. Your method seems OK; vendor for GST cheque and negative number for GST paid (creates a credit in account say, 2315); all this is fine.

    Displaying balance sheet would then show GST paid as being added to total instead of subtracted?

    ex.: if balance was 100.00, it is now 200.00?

    Frankly, I would need to see your data file to understand the problem.

    If you want, contact me outside the forum by email and we could arrange a remote meeting.

    Hi Daniel...thanks....I had no problem with htis last year...it would clear down to 0...but now it is totalling the gst paid which of couse throws off the owing...right now on a balance sheet the amount owing is the total of the paid and charged....its weird!!
