Hi info-colombianto,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community! Let me walk you through on how to enter an expense with a customise GST on purchases.

 

  1. On + New button, select Expenses.
  2. Select Payee, Payment account and Payment date.
  3. On Amounts are dropdown menu, select Inclusive of Tax.
  4. Get the GST amount and multiplied it with 11 to get the full amount including GST where we can apply the GST 10% and get the desired GST amount. Example: GST amount $0.95 x 11= $10.45
  5. Select the category of what the expense for on the first line and use the amount on the second step and apply GST on purchases 10% code.
  6. On the second line, select the same category and enter the same amount on the first line but with a negative sign to offset the amount but leave the calculated GST amount and apply the GST free purchases code.
  7. On the third line, select the category of the transaction and enter the total amount for it and apply Out of Scope for GST.
  8. Select Save.
