Sometimes you need to enter a disbursement where the GST component is not 10%
For example a disbursement for $141.60 where the GST amount is $12.50 not $12.87
Step-by-step guide
When using the Workbench to enter disbursements it assumes that the GST is 10% of the total amount.
If you need to enter GST that is not 10% of the total amount then:
- Go to the matter in question
- Click the Costs button on the Matter Toolbar
- Right click on the costs grid and select "Input Cost Journal"
- Change the Tran. Type to Disbursements
- Enter the Disbursement code you want to us in the Expense Type field or click the ... button and select the disbursement code you want to use
- Enter the full amount in the Amount field eg) $141.60
- Enter the GST amount in the Paid GST field
- Click out of the Paid GST field to see the Actual Cost field update
- Click Add transaction when you are happy everything is filled out as you want
- Click OK to add the listed transactions to the matter
NOTE: The disbursement Code must be a GST applicable code ie) not GST Exempt or PAYEX |
