  • General GST Petty Cash

    Have petty cash expenses been apportioned correctly – GST & Free

    Are there receipts or diary notes for petty cash expenses

    Review expenses that traditionally have stamp duty as part of the expense – make sure GST is correct

    Insurance

    Hire of Equipment

    Motor Vehicle Registration

  • Private Expenses & GST This can be accountants area – but you do need to identify

    private expenses to accountant?

    • The ATO allows a ‘once a year’ adjustment to reduce the GST claimed for private expenses.

    • If you have $1100 of private expenses, then reduce your next GST claim by $1100/11 = $100.

    • You do not have to inform the ATO, just keep the records.

    Journal Entries Date Type Account DR CR 30/6/15 Expense Motor Vehicle Expense $1000.00

    Liability Directors Loan $1100.00 Liability GST Paid (GST already claimed) $100.00 Ref: Private Usage

    PresenterPresentation NotesThe tax agent may have included an adjustment in last years final tax returns for disallowing private expenses – has the GST adjustment been made? It is absolutely acceptable to claim all GST on all taxable purchases for a business or enterprise during the year, if turnover is less than $2m, even if a portion of the expenses are for private use.
