Making a new GST Tax Code link to "GST Paid on Purchases" in Balance Sheet

Hi There,

I've just added a new tax code in Sage (GI - GST 5% included). I've edited the appropriate details through the magnifying glass such as "tax % = 5, Status = taxable, Included in Price = yes, Refundable = yes).

For some reason, when I go to the balance sheet and drill into "GST Paid on Purchases", the expenses I entered with a GI (GST included) code are not showing up in the balance. Is there something I'm missing here?

Thank you!

    Hi,

    You may have missed setting up the linked tax account. Sales Taxes are set up in three places:

    Setup | Settings | Company | Sales Taxes | Tax Codes
    Setup | Settings | Company | Sales Taxes | Tax Codes | Assign Tax Codes
    Setup | Settings | Company | Sales Taxes | Taxes (linked accounts)

    An invoice tax code is assigned to a Sales tax, which can be assigned to an account.
    G ->GST -> 2310 GST charged on Sales

    Since an invoice record stores a version record of the tax codes used at the time the invoice was created, you may have to remove a problem invoice altogether, and re-create it.
