How did you determine it doesn’t equal?

`GST account` would be balance sheet account which shows balance `as at` while BAS shows movements for the period.

Tax Transactions cash basis report 1st - 31.5.22 = $497.74  
GST payable account = $284.85 set to cash not accrual as at 31.5.22  
First time did not equal each other

The `Amount owing to ATO` is clickable so you can click on it to see how total ended up being `497.74` and compare that to ledger with closing balance `284.85`. There is something in your GST account that is not being accounted for BAS and there is a reason for it.
