Hi I wish to add a fuel levy to my invoices at a percentage rate. Can anyone assist please? Thank you

Hi there, Sppumping. You can add a fuel levy to your invoices by creating it as a service item and adding it as a line item. 

 

However, please note that QuickBooks doesn't currently support automatic percentage-based surcharges on invoices. This means that you will need to manually calculate the levy amount based on your total and enter it as a fixed value.

 

Here's how to do it:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Products and Services.
  2. From the New product/service drop-down menu, choose Service.
  3. Type Fuel Levy in the Name field.
  4. In the Price/rate section, enter the specific amount you calculated for the fuel levy.
  5. Fill in any other required details, then click Save and Close to finish.

 

Once created, easily select the Fuel Levy item to add it your new or existing invoices. You can also add a note in the Message on invoice box to explain to your customer why the charge is a fixed amount instead of a percentage. When you’re done, click Save and Close.

 

Once this is complete, you will have a fuel surcharge item ready to use when invoicing your customers. Then, you can run a Sales by Product/Service report later to see exactly how much you have collected in fuel surcharges over the year.

 

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have further questions. We're happy to help.
