Avoid five common GST reporting errors
We have identified five of the most common errors made when reporting GST.
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.
When reporting GST:
- 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.
