How to Display Figures as GST Exclusive (Commercial Properties Only)

  2. Go to Other > Utilities > System Options > Other Tab
  3. Tick Show Income & Expenditure  figures GST Exclusive checkbox
  4. Click OK-F12

NOTE: If you choose the exclusive option and you have residential owners, their Income & Expenditure Summaries remain as inclusive.

How to Produce the Income and Expenditure Report

  1. Go to  Reports > Owner > Income & Expenditure Reports > Yearly Summaries
  2. Select criteria as required:
  • Account Types - When generating this report, you can now filter for Owners with Charges entered on the Owner Details, which will allow you to only print/email reports for owners who are charged for this report
  • Sort Order - You have the option to sort data in the report according to owner or property.
  • Make the appropriate selection from the Sort Order dropdown list

The table below defines the other options available. Make the appropriate selections:

Property Breakdown

When an Owner has more than one property, an Income & Expenditure Summary is printed for each property and a consolidated report is printed for the Owner. All owner journals, letting fees, postage & sundries and taxes on owner payments etc. are only shown on the Consolidated Income & Expenditure.

If the Owner has one property only the consolidated report is printed.

Monthly Breakdown


  • When the monthly breakdown option is selected, the report prints as a 12 month summary showing the Income and Expense total for each month.
  • When the Monthly Breakdown option is not selected, the report shows a year-to-date total for each Income and Expense category.

Show Transactions


This option is only available if the Monthly Breakdown option is not selected. With this option selected, the report itemises the transactions, other than rent, that comprise the Income and Expense totals.

Send via e-mail


If this option is selected, the Income & Expenditure Report will be emailed to owners who have been set up with the option to e-mail owner statements.

If the global option to Print Emailed Owner Statements has been selected, the summaries are printed as well as emailed. See the REST Professional Manual for instructions on how to set up owners for email.
