Track GST but code as Expense

Is there a way we can track GST and have it show up on the GST report but, have the entire amount coded to the expense account? We are not required to claim ITCs and need the entire expense in the expense account but, would like to track the GST portion in the GST reports.

Track GST but code as Expense

Hi there Angela115,

 

Thanks for reaching out about your taxes. QuickBooks Online is a great tool able to assist you in keeping track of sales tax in order for you to know the amount to declare. I can point you in the right direction for assistance with this. 

 

To enter a tax code that doesn't report to the GST/PST/HST payable account, you can go to the Taxes section, then Manage Sales Tax.. Beside The first Tax Agency's name, click on Add Rate, then give this tax a rate. Select if this is applicable expenses, then in the Account dropdown, select Non-Tracking. This will put the money for the tax in the same category then the expense line on which it's applied.

 

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.
