QuickBooks Online is all about helping you save time, so I'm happy to see you're looking to automate the selection of GST. Setting default tax rates is a great way to simplify the task of recording transactions, while taking full advantage of the powerful sales tax tracking available. I'll be happy to help set this up.
The easiest way to set a default rate is to assign it to a specific product. It's just a few simple steps:
Select Settings ⚙on the toolbar, then choose Products and Services.
Find the product, service, or bundle you want to change.
From the Action column drop-down menu, select Edit.
Set Tax and Purchase tax as needed.
Select Save and Close.
This will update the default value going forward. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
