GST-free care and taxable sales, kept apart from the start

A clinic or allied-health practice often earns GST-free treatment income alongside taxable sales, pays practitioners and suppliers, and holds documents from many sources. Kumry records the GST treatment as each line is entered, so the BAS reflects the mix rather than a guess at it.

What the work involves

The jobs on a practice’s books

Kumry is accounting software: it keeps the financial side of the practice. It is not a practice-management or clinical system and does not hold patient records.

Code income correctly
Each invoice line carries a GST code, so GST-free consultations and taxable products on the same invoice are treated separately.
In Kumry: Invoices · GST codes
Bill patients, funds and organisations
Raise invoices to whoever pays, record part payments, and use aged receivables to follow up what is outstanding.
In Kumry: Invoices · Aged receivables
Reconcile takings
Import bank statements as CSV, OFX or QIF and match deposits from your payment channels to the invoices they settle.
In Kumry: Banking
Keep the paperwork with the numbers
Attach supplier invoices, receipts and statements to the transaction they belong to. Documents are virus-scanned on upload, and files that fail the scan are held back.

Control who sees the books
Give practice managers, bookkeepers and owners different roles, and require multi-factor authentication for everyone in the organisation.

Prepare the BAS
The GST summary separates GST-free sales from taxable sales, and every amount opens to the transactions behind it.

A physiotherapy clinic that also sells equipment

Treatment income that is generally GST-free, taxable sales of braces and equipment, contractor practitioners and a quarterly BAS.

1
Set the GST profile
The clinic records its GST registration, reporting frequency and cash or accrual basis.
2
Invoice with the right codes
A consultation line is coded GST-free and an equipment line taxable, on the same invoice where both are supplied.
3
Attach documents
Supplier invoices and receipts are attached to their bills and scanned on upload.
4
Reconcile
Bank statements are imported and deposits matched to the invoices they settle.
5
Review the BAS
The GST summary shows GST-free sales (G3) apart from taxable sales, and the practice’s accountant reviews it before lodging.

GST treatment is settled as each line is entered, not reconstructed at quarter end.

GST and BAS

GST-free and taxable lines

Whether a supply is GST-free is a question of tax law, not of software. Kumry records the treatment you, or your adviser, decide on, and carries it through to the BAS.

GST-free health services

Many health services are GST-free when the conditions in the GST law are met, for example when they are provided by a recognised professional and are generally accepted as necessary treatment. Check each service type with your adviser or the ATO.

Taxable sales

Goods and services that do not meet those conditions, such as many retail products, are generally taxable. Code them taxable and the GST on sales (1A) follows.

Mixed invoices

Because the code is on the line rather than the invoice, one invoice can carry GST-free and taxable items, and each lands on the right BAS label.

Lodging

Kumry prepares the BAS figures; you or your registered agent lodge them with the ATO.

Kumry prepares GST and BAS figures from your transactions. You, or your registered tax or BAS agent, review and lodge them with the ATO. This is general information, not tax advice.

Questions people ask

Does Kumry decide whether a service is GST-free?

No. You choose the GST code for each line, with your adviser’s guidance where needed, and Kumry carries that choice through to your BAS figures and shows where each figure came from.

Is Kumry a practice-management system?

No. Kumry keeps your accounts: invoices, bills, the bank and the BAS. Appointments, clinical notes and patient records belong in your practice-management software.

Can Kumry lodge claims with Medicare or health funds?

No. Claims to Medicare and private health funds are made through your practice-management or claiming software. Record the resulting invoices and the payments you receive in Kumry and reconcile them against the bank.

How are uploaded documents protected?

Documents are virus-scanned when uploaded, and files that fail the scan are held back rather than stored with your records. Access follows the roles you give your team.

Can our accountant review the BAS in Kumry?

Yes. Invite them directly, or bring in their practice with an advisor code. They can open each BAS amount to the transactions behind it.
