Natalie S:

The GL is linked properly. When you put items in directly to the GL you must hit the sales tax button on the left bottom of your journal entry screen. From there you would enter the proper taxes and codes.

Hope this helps!

Thank you, yes I will try that.

Hi again,

I tried it on a journal entry and worked well, but if I try to post an amount directly to the GL account in the Purchase Invoice screen, as a payable, for example, if I am paying GST to Rev Canada for importing merchandise, it doesn't work I cannot allocate the tax code because it will charge tax on the amount. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi Natalie:

You shouldn't have to post directly to the GST account in the purchase invoice screen. I would suggest putting in the amount you have to pay in the amount box and code to an account which is appropriate for the expense E.G. admin fees, etc., on the same line double click on the tax amount. Enter the amount of the tax here and click ok. Your tax will now be the correct amount and it will show in the sales tax report.

Hope this helps!

I see what you mean.  Thanks Brea.

Natalie:

You are very welcome! 

If you are ever in doubt check the report before you post your payables transaction from the a/p invoice menu just above on the same screen.
