Hello there, gilles,
QuickBooks Online will follow the initial setup you've made on the sales tax settings especially the tax agency name. You need to deactivate
the tax rate or rename it, then recreate this tax rate to the new tax agency.
To change USt. id. Nr. to MwSt., let's create a new tax agency to get this resolve
Here's how:
- Go to the Taxes menu.
- Choose Add tax.
- Select Custom tax.
-
Fill out all information needed like Tax name (MwSt.), Tax agency name (MwSt.), and Registration number.
- Enter the Start of current tax period, Reporting method and Filing frequency.
- Click Save once done. (Please see attached file below)
Once done, you need to edit all transactions using the new tax code to show MwSt. name on each invoices. You can also check by creating a dummy invoice using the new tax code.
That'll get you going, gilles. You can now use the new tax code of the newly created tax agency name in all your sales transactions.
To know more about it, you can check out this article: Entering
and Editing Tax Agency Info.
