How to select GST-free for supplier purchase orders? There are so many tax codes, which to select for GST-free 0%

We're thrilled to have you here, Evinna. QuickBooks Online (QBO) offers the ability to select from a list of commonly used tax rates (VAT/GST). I got more details about this.

 

In the list of tax codes when managing your Purchase order. These rates are provided for informational purposes and are not tax or accounting advice. To help you have an overview of these options, I'll outline the ones that are GST-free or 0% GST rates:

 

  • 0% EP (0%)
  • Out of Scope (0%)
  • 0% OP (0%)
  • 0% ZP (0%)
  • 0% NR (0%)

 

The remaining codes indicate a GST rate of 9%: 

 

  • TXCA 9%
  • IM 9%
  • TX-ESS 9% 
  • TX 9%
  • TX-RE 9%
  • BL 9%
  • TX-N33 9%

 

If you aren’t sure which tax code to use, I recommend consulting your accountant or tax or accounting advisors. They can help you select which tax code is applicable to indicate for your supplier's purchase orders, especially when Singapore customs has not yet billed you for the GST. Alternatively, consider contacting Singapore’s Inland Revenue Authority (IRAS) for detailed guidance on GST exemptions and tax codes.
