Expense receipt has been entered GST FREE matched to transaction. then when completing the BAS. found that GST is included. Had to make it GST exclusive to get through.

Hi nwhittaker,

Thanks for posting in the Community! The BAS amount captured in the GST center is based from the sales and expense transactions recorded with a GST code on them. GST-free transaction will still show on the BAS but there's no taxable amount on it. Regardless if the transaction is set to exclusive or inclusive of tax. Let's try to run a GST Details report to see if there's a taxable amount on these expense receipts.

Here's how:

1. On Reports tab, search GST Details Report.
2. Go to GST-Free Purchases section.
3. See Taxable Amount column.

In addition, you may want to check as well if you've selected the correct tax code on the manually entered or matched transaction in QuickBooks Online. In any case, you encounter the same behaviour after checking the transaction and GST/BAS report, kindly contact our support team for further investigation.

Feel free to post again if you have any other questions. I'll be around to help.
