Turnover typically refers to the total revenue generated by a business from its operations, but whether it includes Goods and Services Tax (GST) can vary by jurisdiction. In many cases, businesses report turnover excluding GST, as GST is a tax collected on behalf of the government and not a revenue item. However, it's important to check local accounting standards and regulations to determine the specific treatment of GST in turnover calculations.

GST is typically included in house sales when the property is classified as new residential premises or when the sale involves a commercial property.

The GST (Goods and Services Tax) clearing account is typically on the credit side of the accounting ledger when the tax is collected from customers and debit side where it is paid to the tax authorities. When a business collects GST from customers, it is collected as a liability until it is remitted to the tax authorities. The GST clearing account is used to track this liability until the payment is made to the government. Once the GST is remitted, the balance in the clearing account decreases, and the liability is cleared.
