Version 22.3.3 On the Summary the GST Payable is showing the Accrual value even though it is set to Cash basis. ![GSTSUM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/0/c/0ccb27363f5e2dccfe9d91fdb7a199f6bbe6f114.jpeg) ![GSTP](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/2/0/20dc506a8f78f2a76d649fb9ea80c18b36af7ff3.jpeg) The Business Activity Statement is correct for Cash basis. It means there is a difference between what is shown on the Summary page and the Statement which makes it confusing and looks as if something is not correct elsewhere. ---

You have not illustrated your settings for the Summary page. Nor have you shown your BAS. Everything you have shown is in agreement. ---

> [@Tut](#): > > Everything you have shown is in agreement. No it’s not! (edit: Whoops, yes it is…) The GST payable is 42.40, the Summary page shows 55.99. The difference of 13.59 (shown as ‘Cash basis adjustment’) is for purchases/sales invoices that have not been paid, which should not be considered when using Cash based accounting. ![sumedit](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/e/6/e6165376cc6942c9ce4c59dc3d2f211db99b1d3f.jpeg) edit: If I switch the Summary to accrual basis I get the following?? ![sumacc](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/e/7/e7522aa0f623c544854564a4d7e9daca3b2b2943.jpeg) ![sumaccrec](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/0/c/0cb18764dc583f2f9a62775dab02819c8a7e172e.jpeg) ---

From what I can see your GST receivable based on accruals is $42.40 and after making the adjustment for cash basis accounting of $13.59 the GST receivable changes to $55.99. It looks correct to me but you are possibly looking at the cash basis adjustment in reverse. The transactions in the GST payable account should be read from the bottom up. ---

@Tut @tony My appologies. Brain fart! Just realised that the GST payable is a negative figure. Not used to having that 🙄 😴 🥴 Once again…Apologies for wasting forum space and members time. ---
