Overview
Funds registered for GST in Simple Fund 360 will record any GST amounts to each applicable transaction. Income and Expense Accounts will need to be setup in the Chart of Accounts to determine if GST is applicable or what proportion of GST can be claimed. Transactions entered or matched will automatically calculate the amount of GST to be paid or claimed determined by the rate set in the Chart of Accounts. Business Activity Statements (BAS) can be prepared and lodged to the ATO using Simple Fund 360. Several reports are available to reconcile the GST amounts

Smart Matching and GST
When using the Smart Matching screen to create rules there is no need to input the GST rate when creating a rule.

Ensure that you have completed the steps above (fund is registered for GST and all accounts have a GST rate selected).
When matching a transaction and selecting an account, if the account selected has a GST rate input, it will automatically calculate GST on the amount prior to matching.
Once the account is selected and GST is confirmed, select Match. Refer to Smart Matching for additional matching instructions.
