Making Adjustments To Past Periods Fuel Tax

This article is for users wanting to make fuel tax adjustments for BAS.

There are two possible circumstances under which you may wish to make an adjustment to the fuel tax in your BAS. Both problems are dealt with quite differently. 

1. If you over or under estimate your percentage usage of fuel for a particular area on your BAS you may change the percentages later and this change will be reflected on your BAS.
2. You incorrectly recorded the litres in a past transaction and you wish to correct this.

Please Note:

The procedures shown in this document will only work if the original fuel tax reports were
completed in Agrimaster.

If you have not claimed your fuel rebates you will need to talk to your accountant or the Australian Taxation Office.

Before you start, ensure all your BAS periods and Fuel tax periods are showing current tax period.
