BAS & PAYG Error Codes

BAS & PAYG Error Codes FAQ
==========================

When processing the Business Activity Statement (BAS) and Pay As You Go (PAYG) Vendor Summaries for Australian Taxation reporting, you may encounter a number of Errors or Warnings.

Some of the codes will be shown as Errors (Red Cross) or as a Warning (Yellow Exclamation). If the message is shown as a Warning it means that the processing code has found something incorrect, but which will not affect the end results. If the message is shown as an Error it means that the processing code has found something incorrect which will cause the end results to also be incorrect.


Below is a list of the codes and their numbers:
