QuickBooks and Sales Tax / VAT

Modified on Mon, 19 Feb at 6:59 PM

Tax Settings are only required when you are charging your clients a tax on services. Settings include Tax Label, Tax Code and Tax Rate.

To ensure your invoices created in Pet Sitter Plus can be synced correctly in QuickBooks Online, Tax settings in both systems need to match.

In Pet Sitter Plus, VAT, GST / HST, sales or other tax for products and services can be set at Company or Client Level.

Note: If you do not charge tax, you do not need this feature.
