Amount received from client to pay their gst

The client is transferring the GST amount to my bank account for GST payment. My question is, how should I report this type of transaction for income tax purposes to avoid receiving an income tax notice?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to report GST amounts received from clients for tax purposes. The consensus is that these funds are not considered income. Instead, they should be recorded as reimbursements under a 'pure agent' status to avoid potential income tax issues.

No issues...

Account as per Client ledger and pay to GST the same.
Amount received from client to pay their gdt
This is not income as per Income Tax Act. Book into your books as reimbursements as pure agent
