Reckon Accounts Desktop: Rounding is out by one cent

Legacy KB ID: 166

Question

Some amounts seem to have an extra one cent no matter what rounding method I use.

If I use a GST tax code for a gross figure like $5.00, it ends up adding an extra cent on the total.

Why does this occur?

Answer

This is not a software problem; it is a limitation of the methods used to calculate tax in the GST system.

There are two workarounds for this:

The first is to set up a discount item called rounding and to add this discount for one cent to invoices that have the extra cent.

Otherwise you can create a tax code that has a 9.999% tax rate.

This will then bring the figure down to $5.00 if the "POS/Retailers rounding" is used.
