We do not recommend editing or deleting a tax rate once it has been used, as this will make all historical data using that tax rate incorrect. Instead, create a new tax rate and archive any old rates.

Create a new Sales Tax / VAT / GST rate

  • Go to Settings

  • Click Manage Sales Tax

  • Click '+ New'

  • Enter a name for this tax rate

  • Enter the percentage rate

  • Set Default to 'Y' if this will replace your current default tax rate

  • Click 'Save'

There will be an extra field to complete if you are using Quickbooks or Xero integrations, please refer to those pages for detailed instructions.

Archive an old tax rate

  • Go to Settings

  • Click Manage Sales Tax

  • Use the pencil icon to edit the rate

  • Set Archived to Y

  • Click Save

The rate will now longer appear as a selection when creating line items in Jobable, but will still be applied to any historical data.

Override default VAT by customer

If you wish to apply a different tax rate to specific customers:

  • Search for your customer and click their name

  • Click the pencil icon to edit the customer

  • Select the correct tax rate from the 'Default Tax' selection box

  • Click 'Save'

Remote will use the default tax rate in its VAT calculation, unless the Customer has a different tax rate set.
