GST Refund

Hi i work for a small non-profit organization and we only submit out GST once a year.  When I took over the books they were two years in arrears.  When I received the GST refund it was for more than the filed amount.  How do I enter the refund amount?

Thanks

    Hi,

    As the instructions in the online help suggest, create Sales or Purchase invoices for the GST amounts that were claimed.   Check the journal entries by pressing control-J to make sure you have the proper amounts entered.

    i.e.

    Sales invoice for refund:

       Amt          Account

       $xxxxx     2310   GST Paid

       - $xxxxx   2315   GST Collected on Sales

    Also create a sales invoice for the amount of interest that was paid by CRA.  

    I would create a separate receivable invoice for each return filed, so as to have a clearer audit trail.

    I hope that helps, please post back and select any suggested answer that helped you.
