You will need to have a print out or access to your BAS/IAS. From this you will need to look at the back sheet. This will give you the information needed to enter your transaction.
The table below provides a brief description of the BAS fields and how an ATO payment is entered, in other words positive or negative, through the Banking command centre using Spend Money.

1A | Goods and Services tax payable | This is the GST that you have collected. | 2-1210 | + (Positive) |
