Hello remco-greg-gmail,

 

It's great to have you join us here in the QuickBooks Community, and thanks for choosing QuickBooks Online to help manage your books. It sounds like you're getting set up to go with the account, or maybe your business now qualifies for charging sales tax. Whatever the case, I can absolutely guide you through adding GST to your invoices.

 

When your company uses sales tax, the first step to take in QuickBooks Online is to navigate to the Taxes tab in the left menu. If you haven't yet set up sales tax, you should see a button that prompts you to do so. If you've already set up other sales tax codes, you can use the Manage sales tax button to add new codes. These two articles can help with those processes.

When setting up a new sales tax code, you can choose the frequency of your remittances, how you track sales tax from an accounting perspective, and add the sales tax number if you have one. Setting up these options here will make sure you have the correct information for your invoices. If you need to add something like the sales tax number to an existing code, you can do so by navigating back to the Taxes menu, choosing Manage sales tax, and then Edit agency settings for the sales tax code in question.

 

Once you've got everything set up in your sales tax section, you'll be able to choose the appropriate sales tax codes, including GST, on your transactions such as invoices. To choose the code you need, use the Sales tax drop-down menu on your forms. The sales tax number, if you entered one, will be displayed on the digital or print copy of the invoice to your customer.

 

Let me know if that helps answer your question. If not, feel free to elaborate on what you're looking for in a response. Take care.
