Customer Entries & GST


 

You may optionally assign a GST (tax) calculation to all customer entry short-cut transactions. If you assign a default calculation, GST will automatically be calculated at one 11th of the customer entry total, assuming you assign your GST tax rate as the Customer Entry default field.

To assign a GST tax rate default for Customer Entries, start INSTALLATION Workshop, and then access the Install|Taxes|GST & Sales Tax window. Change Tax Rate On Customer Discounts to your inclusive of GST tax rate.

The tax rate you assign to this field must be an "inclusive of tax" rate. This is a tax rate where the tax is calculated as forming part of the invoice total and is not added to the existing total. (The tax is included in the prices that are listed on the invoice/transaction.) For more information on defining inclusive tax rates refer to the topic: Tax Rate Issues.

To review your existing tax rates select from the INSTALLATION Workshop menu: Install|Taxes|Tax Table.
