GST and Withholding Tax in Pakistan

Hello,

In Pakistan, we have certain taxes that need to be accounted when we receive the payment. I have built a scenario below for reference. How would I treat the below transaction in QuickBooks Online?

 

Total Invoice Value: Rs. 100

GST @15% (Applicable on Invoice value): Rs. 15

50% GST with-held by Customer: Rs. 7.5

Income Tax with-held by Customer @6.5%: Rs. 7.47 (Applicable on Invoice value + Total GST)

Net Received in Bank: Rs. 100 (Invoice Value + 50% GST).

GST and Withholding Tax in Pakistan

Thanks for posting to the Community, @Saadi693.

 

To account for these GST taxes, I suggest following the steps in this article: Setting up QuickBooks for GST. This way, you'll have your details set up correctly, from adding your GSTIN details to recording your GSTIN of customers and creating a GST invoice.

 

On the other hand, you'll want to set up a withholding tax item and set up an expense account to track the charges.

 

Step 1: Set up a withholding tax expense account:

 

  1. Go to the Gear menu, select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Select New.
  3. From the Account Type drop-down, select Other Expense.
  4. From the Detail Type drop-down, select Other Miscellaneous Expense or Other Expense.
  5. Name the account "Withholding Tax," then Save.

Step 2: Set up a withholding tax expense item:

 

  1. From the Gear menu, select Products and Services.
  2. Select New, then choose Service.
  3. Name the item "Withholding Tax."
  4. From the Income account drop-down, select the withholding tax expense account that you’ve just created.
  5. Save and close.

 

You can go through this article for the other steps (move to Step 3): How do I record tax withheld by my customer?

 

Additionally, this will give you insights on how to record multiple customer payments or partial payments: Record invoice payments in QuickBooks Online

 

Feel free to add a comment below if you other QuickBooks concerns. I'm always here to back you up. More power to your business!
