The table below explains how to calculate the adjustment for an entertainment expense, and provides an example.
Scenario:The only entertainment expense in the 2010-11 tax year was a business lunch for clients. The lunch costs $230 including GST. The income tax return for the year ending 31 March 2011 is filed on 7 July 2011, and the business files six-monthly GST returns for the periods ending 30 April and 31 October.
The adjustment would be made in the GST return for the six months ending 31 October 2011. The whole $230 would have been included in Box 11 of an earlier GST return to claim the GST credit.
Step | What to do | Example |
1 | To work out the GST, multiply the expense by 3 then divide by 23. | $230 x 3 divided by 23 = $30 |
2 | Subtract GST from the entertainment expense. | $230 - $30 = $200 |
3 | Work out the amount that is not deductible for income tax (50%). | $200 x 50% = $100 |
4 |
| $100 x 3 divided by 23= $13.04 |
