Grant Reporting - PSB Rebate (Modern View)

We are a charity that qualifies for the PSB Rebate, so we include 50% of the GST in the expenses we report to our funders. In Classic View, I set up two tax codes and combined them into a tax group. This allowed the system to automatically add 50% of the GST to each expense and record it as a single line item, which worked perfectly for years.

 

Since switching to Modern View, expenses are now split into two lines—one for the expense and one for the PSB Rebate. As a result, we must manually combine these amounts for every expense reported to our funders, creating a significant amount of extra work and increasing the risk of errors.

 

It appears this change was made intentionally by Intuit, but it does not align with best practices for grant reporting. The only workaround I can see is to disable tax codes and manually calculate expenses including 50% GST at the source. However, this would be a last resort, so I wanted to check if there are any better solutions.

Grant Reporting - PSB Rebate (Modern View)

Hi there, MLWillyum_CL. I appreciate your detailed and clear explanation. Currently, QuickBooks doesn't automatically bundle the 50% non-recoverable GST into the base expense amount.

 

While the goal is to provide more visibility, this change might not be a good fit for an organization that relies on specific reporting formats for grants. With that in mind, sharing this suggestion directly with the Product Development Team is a good path for requesting this option. 

 

Just click the Gear icon in the upper right corner and choose Feedback under the Profile column to inform them that this feature is essential in your current setup.

 

I'll be here if you have further questions.

Thank you for your response. As a 10+ year client I am very disappointed with Intuit's decision to make this change. I have been sounding the alarm on this for 16 months and now we are being forced into Modern View next month. I will deactivate my tax codes and do all tax calculations manually at source.

 

I appreciate the confirmation that Quickbooks will no longer meet our requirements and will begin the process to procure our new software.
