Topic: GST vs VAT

Hinu
I was wondering if GST is US equivalent of VAT (in the FA world). I mean there is no field to set the VAT number of a company or a customer in FA, but there is a GST one. Is it the same ?

I need my VAT number and the customer one on the invoice.

Re: GST vs VAT

the VAT and GST is the same and maybe used a bit confusing in FA. But you use these fields for your Company Tax Id and Customer Tax Id.

These fields are printed on the Sales Invoice.

If you are based in Australia, there is a General ledger and an Australian Language which will set everything up and use the correct terminology on invoices etc for you.

Re: GST vs VAT

Please read about Tax, GST or VAT (it is the same under different names) in the Wiki, https://frontaccounting.com/fawiki .
