To Tax or Tax Not??

Post by cmebd » Fri Dec 17, 2010 1:04 am

I have a situation where although I have a Business Registration I do not charge GST (Australian Sales Tax) for my products however......

Postage is taxed GST at 10%.

Is it possible to have the store/products non-taxable (alredy know how to do this) but have shipping costs generate the additional 10% tax? And.. how do/would I apply GST to a shipping rate??

Cheers
Christine

Set your tax at 10%.
Set the shipping to include tax.
When you enter each product, set tax to none. No tax is calculated on product.

Thanks Brent. I did eventually get that done by following the instructions step by step from the help/knowledge base. Think I got it now.

Sorry to be a pest but getting acquainted with the structure and trying to "do" stuff at the same time - think I am getting old :D
