How do I turn off GST?

Hello jackiembateman@i,

I hope you are having an awesome weekend! Due the high importance of recording accurate taxes in both accounts receivables and accounts payables, I would not make GST inactive. Instead I would work Tax Codes Such as zero-rated, exempt and out of scope when we do not want to assign GST to a line item.

For more information on tax codes and when to use them, here a great article down below:

To ensure your Sales Tax center is set up accurately, I would also like to share the following article:

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to reach out. Have an awesome rest of your weekend!

Kindest Regards,

Hi jackiembateman@i,

 

Being able to track your taxes the way that works for you is imperative. This is why you have options for tracking your taxes in your QuickBooks Online account. Let me share some additional information.

 

The sales tax module does not have the ability to be turned off once set up. Lourdes-Fernandez is correct when they say making use of the zero-rated, out-of-scope, and exempt tax codes is your best course of action. You can create your transactions using these tax codes, and it won't record any sales tax collected or paid on those transactions.

 

If there's anything further, I'm here to help. Have a good day!
