I total my GST collected, spent and spent-vehicle in three accounts as
subaccounts of GST.
I don't fill in those lines on the BAS form which request the totals
and then ask you to calculate on the form, and after years of
providing the totals only I haven't received any complaint. When I used
the electronic thing I used to multiply the amounts by 11 to fill in
the form, but on the paper form one can omit some lines
I'm also on cash accounting, but there is not much difference for me
using accrual figures for GST each quarter.
