GST from Supplier Invoices

QuickBooks Australia

GST for some goods in an itemised invoice is not payable, for example bread, meat, but others for example containers or wrapping material it is payable.

The total invoice therefore has a different GST amount than 10% of the good total. I need to enter a value that is different to the default value, but QB (2011/2012) only lets me assign 10% GST or no GST.

Other than entering all of the items either with or without GST, which will take too much time, how can I enter just the invoice total and then enter the GST total for rthe invoice?

thanks

Just above the messages is a link (bar w/silver background) that says International, click that and select the country you need

Here in the US we don't use VAT, GST, HST, PST (yet), they will have better answers for you.

If I've helped, mark it solved.

Thanks, but that wasn't what I was after.

we've found a way to partly get round it, but it means adding up all of the non-GST payable items, then entering all of the GST payable items, and entering two parts to the invoice.

a real pain, but seems no other way to get round this

Your work-around is the correct method.

Some users take a shortcut - just edit the amount in the GST field.

In Canada, we get these situations too. For example a single coffee will have 5% GST, but a meal might have 13% HST (GST being the federal portion of the HST and HST being a combination of provincial GST of 8% and Federal of 5%)...

Typically, you need one item marked with GST to trigger the GST box to open. Key in the other items with no GST (i.e. not used as opposed to exempt) so that the value of your items before GST agrees to the invoice. Then override the GST box with the correct amount per the invoice. It's not perfect, but it get it through and it's quick.
