Setting up Tax Center

Hi,

 

I set up our account, and when setting up the tax center I accidentally did not check the box to put VAT on purchases.  Now when I set up a tax rate, it is not giving me the option to allocate a tax rate to an expense.  How can I redo the set up for the Tax center?

 

Thank you,

Siddhi

Setting up Tax Center

It's nice to see you here, siddhi_mehta. 

 

 I'm here to make sure you'll be able to set up taxes correctly in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

 

You'll have to tick the box for Charge Sales Tax to allocate the tax rate to an expense. Let me guide you on how: 

 

1. Go to the Gear icon. 

2. Select the Account and Settings under Your Company. 

3. Choose  Expenses from the left panel.

4. Click the pencil icon under Bill and Expenses.

5. Tick the box for Charge sales tax. 

 

I've added this article for additional reference about setting up taxes: Set up and use automated sales tax in QuickBooks Online.
