Let me help you add a GST number in QuickBooks Online, accounts258.

 

You can start by clearing the browser's cache and cookies. This helps refresh website preferences that might be causing issues when you use QuickBooks.

 

After clearing the cache, make sure to restart your browser for changes to take effect.

 

Once done, you can see a Setup GST widget on the dashboard page if you haven't set up the tax. Here's how to enter the GST number:

 

  1. Click Setup GST
  2. The Edit GST settings popup will appear
  3. Enter Start of the tax period, which would be July 1st, 2017
  4. Enter your GSTIN
  5. Choose your Filing frequency and Accounting method
  6. Click Save.

If you've already set up tax agencies, here are the steps on how to enter the number:

 

  1. Existing companies that have set up tax agencies will see the “GST ready” widget on the dashboard page.
  2. Enter your GSTIN (Not having GSTIN won’t stop you from creating invoices using GST tax rates in QuickBooks).
  3. Click Save.

After entering the GSTIN on your settings, you need to add the relevant HSN/SAC codes to make invoices GST compliant. Learn more about the new HSN and SAC codes and how to add them to products and services.

 

To complete the setup, you need to add your customers’ and suppliers’ GSTIN to facilitate the generation of accurate GST Reports (GSTR). I'm adding these links to read more about this:

 

Now, you're ready to create GST invoices.
