GST rules in Singapore for Invoicing in foreign currency needs it to be converted to Singapore dollars for Total excl & Includ GST and GST amount in the local currency.

Hi there, @salesops.

 

At this time, QuickBooks Online doesn't have a specific template to have the total amount for GST to be shown in foreign and local currency. The system only uses the standard template. 

 

However, QBO integrates with variety of third-party applications. You may check out for an app that supports this functionality. 

 

I'm also adding here a link that you can check out about customizing invoice templates in QBO for reference: Customize templates

 

Let me know if there's anything else you need. I'll make sure you're all set. Have a good one!

I appreciate your prompt response, @salesops.

 

You may refer to the Home Currency that is set on your account to determine your company that is based in Singapore. 

 

To do that:

  1. Click on Gear icon at the top.
  2. Select Account and Settings
  3. Hit on Advanced.
  4. Refer to the Currency section and see the Home Currency

Thanks for coming back and for clarifying your concern, @salesops. I understand the urgency of being able to integrate a specific foreign and local currency app with QuickBooks. 

 

You can search for one in our Apps Center by simply entering the keyword foreign and local currency. Then, select the one that works best for you and your business as we're unable to provide a specific app for your business.

 

If there’s anything else I can help you with, please don't hesitate to let me know.

HI QB Team 

 

I have created a invoice template and import to styles. 

to be informed that these mapping fields are not working. 

<billingtaxnumber>

Customer's Tax Registration number

<exchangerate>

Exchange Rate

<taxhomeamount>

Total tax amount in home currency

if these fields are working, I am able to show the GST amount in SGD 

 

Hope you can feedback to the development team that how important this is as showing GST amount in SGD is required by law

2 At a glance
2.1 Where GST-registered businesses make supplies in foreign currencies, they
are required to convert the foreign currency denominated supplies into
Singapore currency based on conversion rates applicable at the time of
supply.
2.2 This requirement is provided for under Paragraph 11 of the Third Schedule
of the GST Act.

Some of our clients have been running a workaround. They are invoicing in SGD and open a SGD virtual business account at Wise to deal with multi currency transactions. They can utilize the bank feeds.
