These errors make up more than half of overall corrections made to GST reporting. 

With some simple checks, you can avoid these most common errors.

• make sure the timing is correct, and report for the correct tax period
• check the figures to avoid accidental miscalculations and simple transcription errors
• ensure you can substantiate your claims for GST credits
• check there is a creditable purpose, so you do not claim GST for goods purchased for personal use
• make sure you charge GST when you need to, especially businesses owners that may not realise you will pass the $75,000 GST threshold.
