Delete a sales tax code in QuickBooks Online
by Intuit• Updated 5 months ago
Making a sales tax rate inactive in QuickBooks Online is easy. Doing this hides the rates from the tax selection menu on all transactions.
Tip: Sales tax rates created automatically by adding a new province to your file can't be deactivated.
To ensure data integrity, it's not possible to delete a sales tax rate completely.
