Non GST products - how to enter them on the system

Submitted by SVH on Fri, 08/04/2011 - 12:07

Hi all,

We have some medical products that do not incur any GST when we purchase them. Our system has been set up to apply GST to everything when received. How do we stop this happening for these particular items? Can anyone help me?

I have tried selecting GST in the 'tax' tab on each product's screen, as I was told that even though this sounds backwards it is what I should try. This did not work, it still incurs GST when I try and enter an invoice.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi Ainslie,

 

I get some things (mainly syringes and needles) from CH2 which are supplied GST free and dealing with it is a bit painful. 

I don't believe there is currently a 'proper' way of doing this, but here is my work around:

Create a copy of the product which doesn't have GST applied. I only use the copy for purchase from wholesalers ie. when adding it to a delivery.

The original product is the one used to sell the product and has normal GST.

I append the end of the product name of the copy with *PURCHASE ONLY- GST FREE* so it doesn't get confused.

The you need to create a new 'tax type' lookup called 'GST-free'. This has a rate of 0%. Add the new tax type only to the specific products that are marked *PURCHASE ONLY- GST FREE*

This does work but there must be a better way of dealing with this.....

Thanks Matt,

Seems like a long way round but I will probably go that way too. How then, do I ensure that increased purchase price gets added to copy used for retail sales? Do I need to somehow link the two products together?

Thanks again

Ainslie
