Thanks for posting in the Community, wamblpo!

 

The process in QuickBooks Online is if you've created transactions in QuickBooks Online and coded them with GST, the tax amount will flow into your GST Center for you to lodge the BAS and record GST payment after. Here's how to lodge the GST and record payment:

 

  1. Click on GST and select Prepare BAS.
  2. QuickBooks will display the total sales (including GST), total purchases, GST collected on sales, and GST paid on purchases based on transactions in QuickBooks.  If all looks well, select Next.
  3. After reviewing the complete activity statement, select Mark as lodged to close the tax period in QuickBooks.
  4. After the lodgement,  lodge your BAS directly with the ATO (if not lodging electronically from QuickBooks).
  5. Once you've made the payment to the ATO, record it in QuickBooks.

 

To record the GST payment:

 

  1. Go to GST, then navigate to the To Do tab.
  2. Select Record Payment on the activity statement you want to record a payment against.
  3. Enter the Amount paid.
  4. Select the Account the payment was withdrawn from and the Date of the payment.
  5. Enter a Memo for the transaction if required.
  6. Select Save.

If there is a tax paid downloaded from your banking feeds, you can then match it to the record GST payment to reconcile your books. You've now lodged the GST and payment in QuickBooks Online. If you want to record the payment but did not use the GST function, you can either use a journal entry or expense transaction and allocate it to the taxes-paid account.
