Do I change tax status "Tax Inclusive/Tax Exclusive" of PO, It changes the products rate instead of changing the tax and grand total. Any one faced similar issue?

But that shouldn't be the case. Why would I want to change the rate of producT? The total and tax should be changed instead.

Hello there, cyrusacuna16.

I understand that you don't want to change the product rate when you update the tax tagging.

Though this is how it's designed, there's a workaround I want to show you. Let's update the tax tagging first before adding the products and rates.

If you have added the products already, you'll want to delete them. Then, change the tax type and add them back.

Also, you'll want to check this article to learn how to handle changing tax rates.

I'll be here if you need more help with this. Have a great day and stay safe!

Hi,

I can't find anywhere in my invoice or in my settings to change sales tax from exclusive to inclusive. Where can I find this??

Thank you!

Hi omingollc Are you wanting to set the default tax rate on your account?

No. I'm a photographer by trade and the majority of the time sales tax is calculated exclusively. Occasionally however, I have a project arise that needs sales tax to be calculated inclusively.

Nice to have you in the Community space, @omingollc. I'll make sure you can find the option to change the tax rates in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Follow these steps to change the default tax rate in QBO:

1. Click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner and select Account and Settings.
2. Choose the Advanced tab and go to the Accounting section.
3. Choose Inclusive of Tax in the Default tax rate selection field.
4. Select Save and Done.

I'm including a screenshot below for visual reference:

Hi Kevin,

Thank you so much for your reply. I continue to have two issues. The first is that the default tax rate selection shown in the screen shot your provided doesn't appear in my accounting menu. (screen shot attached)

Second, I don't want this to change as an account default, I only want to change one invoice.

Thanks for the prompt response, @omingollc. Let me clarify things for your concern about being unable to see the tax rate selection in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.

The option to change the tax rates in QBO Simple Start and Essentials subscriptions is unavailable.  It's exclusive to the QBO Plus subscription.

Moreover, if you have the option to change the default tax rate, you can still return it to exclusive of tax after you've created that one invoice.

I'm also providing an article to learn more about how you can customize your invoices, estimates, and sales receipts: Customise invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online. 

If you have more questions about changing the tax rates in QBO, you can always tag me or post a new question in the Community. Have a good one!

So I have to pay $80 a month for this extremely basic feature? Yay that's amazing.

Hello,

I have a related problem.

My default VAT is set to inclusive in 'settings'.

I have also set VAT to inclusive when assigning VAT to each purchase transaction.

However, each transaction is showing up in the P&L and the B/S as exclusive of VAT.

This means that all my accounts are wrong: the total is exclusive of VAT, so it's 23% less than it should be.

Do you have any suggestions?

4 of your colleagues have responded to my query about this today, and none of them knew the answer. 

Thanks.

@Kurt_M- the gaslighting is strong with you!!

1.  You say that you appreciate the urgency of the request, so (a) don't answer it; and also (b) say to ask someone else and (c) wait until monday to ask those people.

2. You already send me that b/s text earlier.
