Make sure your GST settings are correct. For more information see GST settings.

To help you lodge your activity statement, you can use the GST report for activity statement available in MYOB Essentials. This report displays a summary of information that you can use to prepare your BAS (Australia) . The Payroll Summary and Payroll Detail reports will help determine your PAYG figures for the period. For more information see Business reports.

If you're in New Zealand, learn about lodging your GST return online or get help choosing the right return type.

GST report for Activity Statement (Australia only)

Use GST report for Activity Statement to help you complete your Business Activity Statement (BAS) at the end of each period. Choose the dates your BAS needs to include, then copy the values from the report into the BAS form you send to the ATO.

In the Business reports section of the Reports page, click GST report for Activity Statement. The GST Report page appears in a new window, where you can customise and produce the report.
Choose the period for the report in the Dated and To fields.
If you want the values on the report to be calculated as at the dates that money was received, select the Cash basis option. If you want values calculated as at the dates that invoices or bills were issued (that is, on an accrual basis), deselect this option.
Click Generate report. The report appears as a PDF in an Adobe Reader window, ready for you to review, save or print.

Only transactions which incur GST will be listed.

Once you've completed your activity statement, learn how to record an ATO or IRD payment or credit.
