Setting default GST for sales receipts

I enter all bank deposits as sales receipts but have to input the GST code every time - is there a way to set the GST code as a default code rather than having to input each time? I have put the correct GST code in the chart of accounts but still have to input the GST code in the sales receipt. I have also set it up correctly in the template.  I hope this makes sense!

Setting default GST for sales receipts

Hi, rbtservices

Select the tax codes for the product or services you sell

Move to the Products and Services screen > under the Action column Edit the item >Tax field dropdown menu select the appropriate tax rate and Save.

Now you can select this item for sales receipts.

Comment back for further clarifications

Setting default GST for sales receipts

What if I don't use products/services? All sales just go to a sales entry in the sales receipts, I don't put in any details just the amount?

Setting default GST for sales receipts

Hi rbtservices,

 

Sales receipts require a product or service as a line item, and as Rajanikanth said earlier, the best way to have the GST code apply as default to the sales receipt would be to create a product or service with the GST code selected. From setting this up, you will not need to manually input the GST code every time you create a sales receipt.

 

However, since you're entering Bank Deposits in the first place, instead of adding them as sales receipts, you can create a Bank Deposit. By default, you'll be able to save Bank Deposits without needing to enter a GST code.

 

Here's more information on how to create Bank Deposits: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-au/banking/record-and-make-bank-deposits-in-quickbook...
