New Zealand only.

You can now lodge your GST return online, from within MYOB Essentials.

MYOB Essentials will automatically complete your GST return for you, using the data you've entered throughout the period. You'll be able to check it, and make changes if you need to. Once you're happy with the figures, you can lodge the return with Inland Revenue, all without leaving MYOB Essentials.

How does it work?

Check out this short video for an overview of lodging your GST return online in MYOB Essentials.

 

 
To lodge your GST return online
  1. Click Reports in the MYOB Essentials menu bar. 
  2. In the Business reports section, click GST Lodgement.
    The GST lodgement page appears.
  3. If you want to continue working with an existing return, click the date listed in the Period end column.
    Or, to start a new return, select your criteria from the GST taxable period, Period end and Accounting basis drop-down lists at the top of the page. Note that the 6 month GST taxable period option is not yet available. Then click Add return to create the new return.
    The Goods and services tax return page appears.

    Can't select a month in Period end?

    If you've prepared a GST return for a previous period, that period won't appear in the Period end drop down list.


  4. In Return details, select your GST return type dropdown menu.

    Note that if you're working with return type GST103, you need to enter information in fields 24 and 25. See page 16 in the IRD GST Guide for more information on these fields.
  5. If you need to correct any amounts on the return, click in the fields and type the new amounts.
  6. When you're happy with the return, click Validate to check the figures. 
    You'll need to fix any errors before you can lodge the return.
  7. Once the return is validated and you don't want to make any more changes, click Finalise
    The status will display Completed meaning the return is now ready to be lodged with Inland Revenue.
  8. When you're ready to lodge your GST return with Inland Revenue, click File.

Once you've lodged your return, pay any outstanding amounts to the IRD. After you've paid your GST or received your refund, you'll need to record the payment in MYOB Essentials. See Recording IRD payments and credits.
