Non-Cash GST Adjustment

Non-cash adjustment is one of the ways in which GST can be corrected. 

Non-cash adjustments should only be used when there is a change in the proportion of personal or private use of an item you have claimed in a previous BAS period.

Example scenario will be used to show you how to make a non-cash adjustment. 

Scenario

In a previous BAS return, you purchased a computer for $3300 and claimed a refund of 100% of GST amount of $300 paid (GST Standard at 10%). This means you are claiming 100% use for business usage. Six months later, you realise the computer has only been used for 50% of business use.
