[Busmanagers] GST - Refund of Bond

[Campbell, Linda C]

Hi Raelene,

According to the old "Transaction analysis for a sample school" put out
by DET when the GST was implemented, Bonds should be coded 'N' out of
scope.

"A deposit held as security for the performance of an obligation is not
treated as consideration for a supply. Therefore, upon recovering the
bond paid the school would not be required to account for GST."

 

This can also be true for deposits for camps etc.

I emailed Jeff Crosbie some time ago, and the information I got from him
was:

"The camp company is correct in not charging GST on the camp deposit.
The procedure that you need to follow is:

*	Pay the deposit using N (out of scope)
*	When you receive the final invoice for the camp, you need to do
a credit note for the deposit (also using code N) and make sure you do
not attach the credit note to an invoice.
*	Then pay the full total amount of the camp using I (inclusive).

 

Hope this helps

Linda :-)
