Question: Is there any way to populate these worksheets if we have already created Borrowing costs schedules under "Tools > Borrowing costs".


I am doing the journal in 'QuickBooks Online'  which transfers the expense fig at Item 7 at Non-deductible expense in Reconciliation tab but not deducting as Borrowing Cost. For expense fig to appear at Borrowing cost field I have to create a Worksheet for each borrowing cost...there are 15 separate borrowing costs. Moreover I have to repeat the whole process again in next year's return.


Answer: Note that Tools>Borrowing cost is for record only, this does not populate to tax return that is why it is being advised to do a manual entry in 'QuickBooks Online'. So worksheet won't automatically be filled in from tools and will not be rolled over to next tax return.


You need to record a journal in 'QuickBooks Online'  for borrowing cost, when import was done, it should show in the Profit & loss section of the tax return.

After the import, you should categorised it as - Amortisation Costs > Borrrowing Expenses Amortised

Since Borrowing costs should be included at W Non deductible expenses, according to ATO, it will be showing up in the Reconciliation section Item 7 as non deductible expense. https://www.ato.gov.au/Forms/Company-tax-return-instructions-2022/?anchor=worksheet2#worksheet2 

Note: The "Borrowing Cost Schedule" that manually added to previous year, will rollover the details to the next form years (including the borrowing worksheets). If not shown, press this "Rollover" button
