Tax Activity Report

This Tax report is based on the 'Standard' Taxing method as set in the Company Taxing Parameters and it includes tax reporting on A/P invoices, A/P recurring invoices, A/R invoice, customer invoices and/or G/L journals & checks, when optional tax codes are assigned to the transactions.
This report is useful to assist with Australia's and New Zealand's GST Business Activity Statement (BAS) requirements.

Note: The standard Taxes written-off and collected in the Bad Debts and Collections are always included in the 'Tax Activity Report' after posting.

All customer invoices processed through the Daily Close are included in the sales tax calculation.
The Calculate Tax On flag in the Company Taxing Parameters controls how the processing has been activated and whether it automatically prompts for tax assignment in A/P Invoices, A/P Recurring Invoice, A/R Invoices, and/or G/L Journals & G/L Checks.

This report is only available on the Menu tree if at least one source option is selected in the Calculate Tax On settings in the Company Taxing Parameters.
Then the tax information can be included in this Tax Activity business statement based on the transactions that have been manually given a tax code.
Transaction type INV will be classified as Collected on the report, and types AP, CASH & CHK will be classified as Purchases.

Note: Any direct tax transaction postings (transactions that have been posted directly to a G/L account that is associated with a Tax Code) are not included in the report.

The prompts are:

INCLUDE TAX IN VALUES

Check this box to include tax in the total purchase and sales values.
Uncheck this box to exclude tax in the total purchase and sales values.

Note: The report title includes a note whether taxes have been included or excluded.

FROM DATE

Accept the beginning of the current month as the period start date or over-type it with the preferred start date.

TO DATE

Accept today's date as the period end date or over-type it with the preferred end date.

Note: Using the Cash Tax reporting method this date range applies to the Date when the invoices were Paid which could be confusing on the output as the output prints the Document Date which could fall outside of the selected date range.
