Including your GST number on a PDF or Job Invoice
For our Australian customers there are a couple of different ways to include your "Goods & Services Tax" (GST) number on your invoice:
You can add a GST number to the Memo field of a PDF
Preferences > PDF
You can add it to the Custom Data field of a job invoice
Preferences > Job > Custom Data.
**Both show up on a PDF but you must allow it for the Custom Data (toggle on "Show custom data")
**see screenshot below which shows it in the Custom Data and Memo fields
Accounting for GST on the invoice
There are a couple of ways to account for the GST on the invoice but if it is imperative that you have a tax line (which it is for Quickbooks), the second choice listed below would be best:
You can turn off the "Automatically Calculate Tax" toggle in Preferences > Tax Rates to completely remove the tax line and then increase your prices by 10%
NOTE: the tax line should always be included for accounting and Quickbooks purposes even if it is zeroed out
If you still need some kind of tax line under the subtotal, then after turning off the "Automatically Calculate Tax" you can manually create a 0% tax rate by clicking "Add a tax rate," label it something like “10% tax included in pricing”
