Australian Legislation

This document describes how to set up and prepare the necessary data and run the preparatory report to generate the values needed to submit the Business Activity Statement (BAS) and Goods and Services Tax (GST) to the Australian Tax Office (ATO). As of 2018, the process and functions used in Sage X3 have changed significantly.

Audience

This document is for those who will set up Australian legislation and prepare and submit BAS and GST values to the Australian Tax Office (ATO). Knowledge of Australian legislation and related tax rules is assumed.

What’s new

This process uses the GST groupings function to create GST groups for reporting. The GST reporting periods function collects the necessary data from general ledger journal entries and associated tax codes defined in the VAT boxes function. You can also manually enter additional BAS values before generating the BAS preparatory report.
