Hi TDogg,
It's great that you're using QuickBooks Online to streamline the management of your business and keep organized. I can see that this particular situation can cause some issues with the tracking of your sales taxes, and I want to ensure that you're able to charge the proper sales taxes.
To ensure that the customer is only charged GST on the billable expenses, you'll need to manually change the tax code of that line item when creating the invoice. There isn't a way to set the billable expenses to automatically be GST only at all times, as it defaults to whichever tax code that was selected while creating the billable expense. If this is something that you'd like to see included in the program, I recommend submitting Feedback to our product development team so that your ideas can be heard. Here's how to submit feedback from within your QuickBooks Online company:
- Navigate to the Gear icon at the top, then Feedback.
- Enter your comments or product suggestions then select Next.
- You'll be provided a list of suggested Help articles related to your comment. You can read through them or select Skip and send message.
- From the drop-down, choose the appropriate category, then select Send message.
Your feedback will then be sent to our development team for consideration.
If you have any other questions please let me know!
