Adjusting the GST portion

For one-off payments you can adjust the GST portion on the client payment. You would do this, for example, when:

• a client is not zero-rated for GST, and
• pays their monthly account which includes an invoice with no GST.

To adjust the GST in the payment, select Adjust the Payment GST amount check box and then change the amount in the amount to field.

This function only applies to:

• clinics that are payment-based for GST payments,
• clients who are zero-rated for GST or
• clients who have animals that are zero-rated for GST.

GST rate

For New Zealand clients, for a transitional period, there will be a facility for entering payments at the previous GST rate.

This function only applies to:

• clinics that are payment-based for GST payments,
• clients who are zero-rated for GST or
• clients who have animals that are zero-rated for GST.

Please check with the Inland Revenue Department or your taxation accountant as to when you should be applying the previous GST rate of 12.5% to payments.
