NOTES
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
1 It is advisable to edit the Tax codes (through Lists, Tax Codes, List) to reduce
the number of codes available and to reduce the opportunity for confusion for
the students.
2 Use the code NCG 10% for ALL inputs which attract GST, including
purchases of trading stock. Use the code GST 10% for all sales revenues.
3 Pay tax liabilities through Suppliers, Pay Tax Liability, assigning the next
number for the appropriate bank account.
4 The GST component of all purchases and sales has already been set up so it is
not necessary to adjust the invoices for the tax payable or collectable.
QuickBooks will automatically adjust the Tax Payable account for all
purchases and sales.
5 It is necessary to add the tax code (NCG 10%) into the TAX column for all
cheque payments which attract GST. The amount entered into the amount
field for the cheque must include the amount of the tax. QuickBooks will then
calculate the amount of the tax and show it in the appropriate column. This
will automatically adjust the Tax Payable Account.

6 If the amount of GST paid out by the business is greater than the amount
collected from customers, the balance of the Tax Payable account will show a
negative amount, it will still be listed as a Current Liability.
Bank Reconciliation
1 On the Menu bar, select Banking, Reconcile. Enter the final bank balance
from the bank statement provided.
2 Enter the bank fees through Write Cheques. Enter BS instead of a cheque
number. You will need to open an account for Bank Charges.
3 On the reconciliation screen, enter a tick beside each item which appears on
the bank statement. As you tick off the items, the Difference at the bottom
right of the screen will change to Zero as the account is reconciled.
Transactions
Enter the transactions in batches, being careful with the dates.
Decision Centre
On the Company navigator, click on Company Centre to access a wide range of
assessment tools. As this data file is using current dates, this will show small graphs
of the current situation.
Use Reports, Customers & Receivables, Accounts Receivable Graph as a basis for
discussion on the state of the bank account and the amount owed by customers
(especially in the 90+ days column)
Check the graphs for Accounts payable and income and expense. Note that %’s are
shown for each area of the graph. Double click on any area of a graph and it will
show more information. Further double clicking will take you right back to the
document which generated the transaction.
