How do I make my QuickBooks company not applicable for GST purposes. My business is not registered for GST as it’s just started, but QB wants GST to be recorded

Hi warren-elliott26, 

Thanks for reaching out. Once the GST centre is set up in a QuickBooks file we cannot remove the need to select a GST code. If you do not have anything else set up you could open a new file and not 'turn on GST' in the GST Tab.

Alternatively, you can set your Default Tax Rate to Out of Scope by: 

• Navigating to Settings 
• Select Company Settings 
• Under Advanced select Accounting > Default Tax Rate Selection 
• Set to Out of Scope and Save 

Please let me know if you have any other questions. 

Thanks, 

Rebecca
