GST and Cash Budgets GST must be incorporated into our budgets using either a cash or accruals basis. Cash Basis GST liability arises when the payment is received or made. The 10% GST is calculated on the final amount of cash after any discounts. Under the cash basis of accounting for the GST there are no adjustments made for discounts or bad debts. Slides prepared by Peter Miller National Core Accounting Publications 4 GST and Cash Budgets
Accruals Basis GST liability arises in the first tax period that an invoice is issued or a payment is received. Input tax credits may be claimed in the earlier part of the tax period when the invoice is issued or when the payment for the taxable supply which has occurred before an invoice is issued. In this text adjustments are recognised when the BAS is lodged. Slides prepared by Peter Miller 5 National Core Accounting Publications Accounting for GST GST received is posted to a GST
collected account. GST paid ( Input Tax Credits ) are posted to a GST paid account. The difference is remitted to or received from the tax office in the next available BAS period.
