How do I enter sales taxes paid on a bill?

I have entered the value of the purchase and the taxes paid as separate lines. The taxes are now showing up as owed by the company.

How do I enter sales taxes paid on a bill?

Hey @Loretto15,

 

In tracking your sales taxes, you’ll need to add them on the line item. Let me guide you how.

 

Adding your sales taxes as a separate line item causes this to show as something that you owe. In addition, since your recording a bill, the sales tax should be recorded together with your purchase.

 

Here’s how you can add your sales tax on the line item:

  1. Open your bill.
  2. Click on the Trash Bin icon on your sales tax line item.
  3. Under the Sales Tax column beside your purchase item, choose the appropriate sales tax.
  4. Click on Save and Close.

I’ve attached a screenshot below for your visual reference.
