Why is my balance sheet out of balance

This often happens when:

GST has been double-counted

Profit & Loss includes GST in earnings

GST account also shows that same amount

This inflates current year earnings and leads to a mismatch in your balance sheet.

Tip: Double-check your GST coding on expenses and income — only include GST once.
