Hi Chris,

Nice to see you here! But Why do you not use <syntaxhighlight lang="scheme">...</syntaxhighlight> instead of <pre>...</pre> like in the rest of the page? It looks much nicer as you can see in Wiki Tips. --Fell (talk) 22:21, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Quickstart Australian BAS My account setup

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Quickstart_Australian_BAS#My_account_set_up

The GST parent account is not clear from the text. Businesses aim to make money and GST is charged on that income so it follows GST is a liability. Liability:GST:GST on Sales (ie tax collected) and Liability:GST:GST on Purchases (ie tax paid) shows the net result at any time.

==> NO. GST paid to suppliers is an asset. I'll get it back at the next BAS.

It would be nice to align the default Business Accounts, Guide Chapter 13, and this wiki.

==> You don't have to use my account structure.

> I use two tax tables -- GST on Sales, GST on Purchases.

Useful information for the Guide Ch13.

Seems steps must be:

  1. setup accounts (text does not specify if GST accounts are Asset or Liability)
  2. add Tax Table Entry(s)
  3. update File, Properties, Book options Business tab: Default Customer/Vendor tax table
