No GST on Purchase Invoice

I am normally a SAGE 50 Premium user but have very recently signed on to try Quickbooks Self-Employed. My question is around GST... I want to switch off the auto calculation and application of GST on purchases. I made an online purchase and on the invoice I received from the vendor, there was no GST (as the company is out of Ireland). It seems that when I attempt to post that purchase, Quickbooks Self-Employed insists on calculating and applying GST. How can I switch off the calculation and application of GST on vendor invoices, when it doesn't apply? Thanks in advance, Kristine

Hi Kristine,

 

I appreciate all the details you've shared here about your vendor invoice. At QuickBooks, we know you sometimes need to make changes to sales tax calculated on transactions, and with QuickBooks Self-Employed, it's easy to apply or remove sales tax. In the browser, vendor transactions are handled through the Transactions menu on the left. When you create a transaction, you would simply hit Apply if you wanted to add sales tax. To remove it from an existing transaction, hover over the number in the Sales Tax column and click Remove when it appears.

 

Here's how these processes are handled in the app: Sales Tax Overview

Enjoy your day. :)

    Awesome, that worked perfectly, thank you! And since I have your attention, I'll add a 'here here' to all those who I've seen request the feature to be added for custom categories :) BTW, my profile for some reason seems to be deemed "experienced." Not sure how that happened but perhaps it is a setting I can tweak in my profile, as I would consider myself a newbie to Quickbooks... Many thanks again! Best, Kristine

    I'm glad to hear it worked! I'll make note of your addition to the feature request for custom categories as well. We're always interested in hearing what we can do to improve QuickBooks for our users.
