I received a bill for GST only - how do I enter this in Quickbooks online?

Hi there, 

Entering a bill for GST only in QuickBooks Online is actually simpler than you'd think. I have a method that you can use in order to correctly record your GST only bill.

Create a bill with sales tax only. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Expenses on the left navigation menu.

2. Select New Transaction > Bill.

3. Enter your supplier name, and any other necessary information such as the bill and due dates.

4. Create a line item with any positive dollar amount (you can follow the screenshot below by using $1.00, to keep it simple). Ensure you've selected your GST tax code for this item. The category you select is up to you.

NOTE: This will add tax on top of the value of your line item. Don't worry. We're going to adjust this later.

5. Enter another line item with the same amount, but make this amount a negative (e.g. -$1.00). Choose Out of Scope for the tax code.

6. Enter the correct total to reflect the real bill amount by entering this into the GST box at the bottom right side of the page.

7. Click Save and Close.

Here's a screenshot to show you how the transaction should appear in your account:

You can use the same method to enter a cheque or expense, which may be better suited to you depending on your needs.

I hope this helps you get back on track. If you have any questions or if you'd like to clarify anything further, just let me know.

Have a great day!
