The GST component on some bills is not 10% but less. How do I make sure it calculates correctly? Can the gst amount be altered manually? Thanks!

Hi UserInfo93, 

Thank you for reaching out and welcome to our community!

So that we can better support you with this, do you mind clarifying your use case with less than 10% GST, please? 

Thank you. 

Sorry Zac but I don't understand your question.  Thanks!

Hi userinfo93,

It might be worth playing around with the tax components of the bill transaction.

Try changing the Inclusive/Exclusive of Tax drop down option which can sometimes be off the mark if you're creating a transaction.

Just be aware that if you do change the inclusive/exclusive option, the dollar amount in the bill you are creating might change also.

Give it a go and let me know how you go!

Third party green slip on car

Hi Lesley67, 

Thank you for posting.  

To assist you further, can we please clarify on "third party green slip on car"?

I look forward to hearing from you. 

Thanks.

Break the component apart?

For example, if you need to charge $30, of which there is $0.5 of GST.

It's likely there's a $24.5 charge that's GST Free.  Set that up as one line item.  Select GST Free.

The $5 that incur $0.5 GST will be another line item.

Will that work? 

Hello there, Anthony Tao!

You can add a second line item on the invoice to separate the amount and GST code applied to them. On the first line item, you can enter the $24.5 with the GST code of Out of scope or GST free. And on the second line item is the $5 with the GST 10% tax code applied. You can check the screenshot below as an example:

In the Amounts are field, make sure to set it to Inclusive of tax or Exclusive of tax.

• Tax-exclusive: This refers to the amount of tax paid as a proportion of the pretax value of whatever is taxed.
• Tax-inclusive: This refers to the amount of tax paid as a proportion of the after-tax value.

Just be aware that if you do change the inclusive or exclusive option, the dollar amount in the transaction you are creating might change also. And then in the invoice summary or subtotal, you'll see what amount have GST applied to them.

Feel free to message us back if you have more questions. I'll be around to assist you!
