Configuring Tax Codes

You must configure the tax codes required for the preparation of a business activity statement. For each tax code, you must select the relevant boxes in the BAS Gross Box, BAS Net Box, and BAS Tax Box fields. The boxes selected are used to report the gross, net, and tax value, respectively, of the transaction line items of type "Tax" associated with the tax code.

For each field, you must select the boxes accordingly. For more information about the setup, refer to the Australian Taxation Office website.

Warning:

You must configure the relevant tax codes properly. Otherwise, there might be data inconsistencies.
