Quick Summary

This discussion explains how to account for a GST invoice for rent that was receivable in March but for which the invoice was generated in April. The advice centres on adhering to the accrual concept by making a provision for rent in March. In April, this provision is reversed, and the actual invoice details, including rent and input GST, are recorded.

30 June 2021 1) make purchase entry as usual
2) you would have made provision for rent in March itself. So reverse the provision in April.

01 July 2021 Provision for rent needs to be made in March itself as per accrual concept. Hence in March pass an entry debiting Rent account(indirect expense) and crediting Rent payable account(Current liabilities).
In April reverse the provisional entry passed in March and pass an entry as per actual invoice details debiting Rent account and Input GST account and crediting the Landlord account
