I appreciate you for getting back to us, T Yosh. I can help share some insights about GST  rates in QuickBooks. 

 

Updating the GST tax rate needs to be done manually. That said, you'll need to create a new tax rate in QuickBooks. Beforehand, please take notice of the following reminders before proceeding:

 

  • Unless you update the transaction and specifically choose a different GST rate, existing transactions that utilized the former rate remain unchanged.
  • New transactions made using recurring templates that use the modified component are subject to the new rate. The earlier rate and transactions already completed using the template are unaffected.
  • The revised rate will be available for new transactions entered after the Effective Date.
  • The old rate applies to any new transactions you initiate that are dated before the designated Effective Date.
  • The new rate is applied to new transactions created with dates in the past.

 

Here's how to create a new GST rate in QuickBooks:

 

  1. Go to Taxes.
  2. Select Add tax
  3. Choose What type of tax you want to add.
  4.  Enter all the information needed. 
  5. Press Save once done.
