To claim a percentage of GST when interfacing with BGL Simple Fund, the transaction needs to be dissected and GST applied to a set proportion of the transaction.

There are three tasks to apply a dissection in BankLink Practice:

  1. Create a payee with a dissection in it to apply GST to that amount.
  2. Code each transaction using the Dissection tool using set amounts.
  3. Code each transaction using the Dissection tool with a set percentage of the transaction amount.

 

1. Create a payee with a dissection
  1. Open the client file.
  2. Go to Other Functions > Payees.
  3. Click New to create a new payee.
  4. Fill in the Payee name and any other details you want to add.
  5. In the coding section, choose the Chart of Account code that you want to assign GST to.
  6. In the GST column, assign the correct GST rate. You can look up GST by pressing F7 while in the GST column.
  7. In the Percent column, choose the amount. For example if you want 75% to have GST applied, enter 75%.
  8. On the next line, select the same Chart of Account code chosen previously.
  9. Assign a different GST code and choose 25% as the remaining percentage rate, or press the equals (=) key on the keyboard.
