Hi there, 

 

The QuickBooks Online Bank Feed is a great way to keep track of your transactions, as well as add them to your account. Syncing your bank account means that QuickBooks will ask for some additional information regarding each item, such as a tax code. I'll help point you in the right direction for help with this. 

 

If you're unsure which tax code to assign to your transaction, the best advice will come from your accountant. Based on the type of transaction and how it's structured in the books, your accountant will be best equipped to advise you on which tax code to choose. 

If you're not already working with an accountant, you can connect with one in your area here: Find an Accountant.

 

Your accountant may advise you to choose a non-tax code, such as Exempt, Zero-Rated, or Out-of-Scope. It's important to know how each of these codes affects your books. Take a look here for all the details on that: Common sales tax codes. This article will break down the description and rate of each tax code, as well as let you know if it's taxable or non-taxable in QuickBooks Online. 

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions for me, just let me know. 


Have a great day!
