I'm here to help you record a GST refund, Newtothis02.

Last March 2018, we rolled out a new GST page. Although, some users are still using the old one.

If you can see the View reports button, you're still in the classic experience. To record a GST refund from there, here's how you can do it:

1. Click GST.
2. Select Record Payment for the period you wish to record the refund against.
3. Change the radio button to Refund.
4. Select the date, and the account the refund will be deposited. 
5. Enter the amount, then click Save.

If you can see the Run reports button already, you're on the new GST experience. Here's how you can record the refund:

1. Click GST.
2. Under To Pay, select Record Refund.
3. Select the account the refund will be deposited, then select the date.
4. Click Save. 

However, if you don't lodge your BAS through the GST page, you'll have to create a journal entry to record the refund. For the steps, please check the article about recording a GST refund. 

Don't hesitate to let us know if you need more help. We'll be willing to assist you.
