Error: "GST on purchases cannot be negative"

Modified on: Tue, 3 Oct, 2023 at 8:48 AM

Error: "GST on purchases cannot be negative" and "Total amount the ATO owes you cannot be negative"

Advise: Due to ATO Activity Statement guidance "GST on purchase cannot be less than zero", the form with a negative amount at "1B - GST on purchases" will not be accepted by ATO.

Please contact ATO for them to advise how to work out an Activity Statement in this case.
