Enable Tax Document Number Management: This feature is used in other countries where the
government controls the tax document numbers.
Allow Different Tax Currency Rate: This is used in Singapore version.

GST. You may, however, change the Inclusive to become Exclusive (or vice versa) during transaction
entry.

Items can be imported are: customized reports, GL accounts (including account type, journal type and
currency, MSIC code), tax codes, stock items default tax code, debtor/creditor default tax code.
GST Start Date: the earliest start date (month) will be the effective date of GST in Malaysia i.e.
04-2015. In actual case, your start date will depend on your registration date. Just follow the
instructions as shown on your registration approval letter.
GST Taxable Period (months): In most cases, taxable period will be 3 (months). Some companies
(e.g. whose annual turnover is > 5 million) may have monthly taxable period. However the
taxable period will be assigned by Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD) upon your
registration as GST company. Just follow the instructions as shown on your registration approval
letter.
Apply GST Logic Option: two options to control when to apply the tax logic.
Apply Tax Logic only after GST Start Date: means GST function will only work on or after the GST
Start Date. Apply Tax Logic for all date: means apply GST function as soon as GST is enabled. If
you are upgrading from version 1.5 to version 1.8 and had not enabled GST before this, the system
will automatically choose the first option. If you have been using GST function for Sales tax, the
system will automatically select the second option when upgrading.

not issued within 21 days) during GST Processor wizard. Uncheck this option will allow you to decide
whether or not to process GST on D/O (where invoice was not issued within 21 days) during GST
Processor wizard.

will allow you to decide whether or not to process GST on Payment (deposit/payment received before
basic tax point) during GST Processor wizard.
However, for Security Deposit that no need to account for output tax, you may check the checkbox

For sales and purchase documents, the priority will be given in the following order: Debtor/Creditor
Stock Item Tax Code Maintenance. Please be aware that even though default tax code is set, you are
able to select other tax code during transaction/entry.
For GL, AR and AP entries, the priority will be given in the following order: Debtor/Creditor Account
Maintenance. Please be aware that even though default tax code is set, you are able to select other tax
code during transaction/entry.
For example:
Scenario 1:
If you are making wholly standard rated supply, you may set the default tax code as follow:
At Tax Code Maintenance: default input tax code (TX_S), default output tax code (SR_S)
At Creditors Maintenance: set default tax code (NR) for those suppliers who are not GST-registered;
(IM-GDS) for overseas suppliers of standard rated goods; (IM-SVC) for overseas suppliers of
standard rated services.
At Debtors Maintenance: set default tax code (ZRE) for those overseas customers.
At Account Maintenance: set default input tax code (BL) for expenses accounts where input tax is
blocked.
Scenario 2:
If you are making both standard-rated supply (majority) and zero-rated supply, you may set the default
tax code as follow:
At Tax Code Maintenance: default input tax code (TX_S), default output tax code (SR_S)
At Stock Item Maintenance: for zero-rated items, default input tax code (ZP) and default output tax
code (ZRL); you may use Easy Item to easily set the default tax codes for large volume of stock
items. Alternatively you may also update the related fields using Export to Excel and Import From
Excel.
At Creditors Maintenance: set default tax code (NR) for those suppliers who are not GST-registered;
(IM-GDS) for overseas suppliers of standard rated goods; (IM-SVC) for overseas suppliers of
standard rated services.

16.1 GST Date vs Document Date
This feature is used to insert transaction after tax submission.
Example:
Monthly taxable period: Apr 2015. Tax return submitted on 25 May 2015.
On 30 May 2015, received a supplier invoice dated 28 Apr 2015.
(1) Before all, please make sure that you have already assigned the following Tax Accounts in GST
Settings (accessible via GST Processor or can be done automatically by using the proposed GST
accounts via the Tax Code Maintenance Wizard.):
- Deferred Input Tax Account
- Deferred Output Tax Account
(2) Go back to month of April (with exception setting, of course) and insert a Purchase Invoice or AP
Invoice Entry as per document date (28 Apr 2015), at the same time assign different GST date (31
May) so that GST amount will be included in the taxable period of May 2015.
(3) On 28 Apr (Document date), the tax amount will be posted to a Deferred Input Tax Account.
(4) On 31 May (GST Date), the system will automatically transfer the tax amount form the Deferred
Input Tax Account to Input Tax Account.
(5) GAF will be affected as well.
GST Date is available in the following documents: (Edit > Set GST Date)
- Sales: Invoice, Credit Note, Debit Note and Cash Sales
- Purchase: Purchase Invoice, Purchase Return and Cash Purchase
- AR and AP documents
- Cash Book and Journal Entry
16.2 Reset GST Processor (For GST Testing only)

When a processed taxable period is Committed, the period will be locked.
If you want to undo the Processor, you may reset the GST Processor. Just login to AutoCount
Accounting Management Studio, then go to:
- Tools > Reset GST Processor (to erase all records in GST Processor), or
- Tools > Reset Latest GST Processor (to erase the last record of GST Processor).
ADMIN user password is needed to perform reset, and a confirmation message will be prompted.
After a successful reset, the period locks associated with the record will also be released and the user
may proceed to edit/modify transaction and run GST Processor again.
WARNING! Reset GST Processor will not remove or erase your data in the system, it just erase the
history of Processor. Please be aware that you are not supposed to edit your data after submitted the
tax return (thats why the period is locked automatically after Committed). Even though you may do
so by using Manage Exception or Reset GST Processor, you must understand the consequences of
modifying entries that will affect GST values and reports.
