Can I record a payment of GST only? The expense and GST were paid separately

Hello fish in the dark,

Thanks for joining us in the QuickBooks Online community! I can absolutely help you with recording this sales tax only transaction.

At QuickBooks, we know that sometimes these kinds of transactions come up and it can be a bit tricky to figure out how to record them. It's for that reason that we created this article to show you how it's done.

Take a look at the steps outlined in the How to record a sales tax expense on imported goods article to learn how to record it in your books. Don't worry, even if your transaction isn't for imported goods specifically, you can use the same process.

Give it a shot and let me know if you need any clarification. Have a great day!
