Hi, setting up a friend's small business. He is not registered for GST, but I cannot set up customer cards as GNR. I get an error message: Error, Import Duty and Input Taxed are invalid types for customer cards. I haven't gone anywhere near those categories. How do I do this so Invoices don't ask for GST?
Hi Windrush,
Welcome to the Community Forum!
You can't set the GNR tax code for customer cards because GNR is specifically used for recording purchases from suppliers. To fix this, make sure you're using tax codes that are appropriate for non-GST transactions, like "FRE" or "N-T." It's advisable to consult with your accountant to determine the appropriate tax code for your business needs. If your business isn't registered for GST, you can set this up in the business settings from your browser by following this link, or from your desktop by doing the following:

Hi, this may be a silly question, but I want to enter a SALES invoice (as a supplier) to a client and I want GNR to show on my SALES invoice, I have indicated on my GST frequency that I am "not registered" but it still wont let me use the code, I don't want my client to enter it as FRE (GST free) because that code is not correct.
Did you manage to fix this, I'm having the same issue and on the SALES invoices we need to show clients that it's GNR, so their bookkeepers don't enter the incorrect code on their end.
Hi jaqx1971,
Because you’re not registered for GST, the software doesn’t let you use the GNR tax code. If you need to use GNR, you’d need to adjust your GST reporting settings first. It’s worth checking in with an accountant to make sure you’re using the right tax code for your situation.

Some years ago, the ATO implemented Simpler BAS.
Only 2 GST codes are used, GST and N-T.
I would not show a GST code on a Tax Invoice/Invoice.
Note a Entity not registered for GST issues a Invoice (not a Tax Invoice).
I recommend that Entities not registered for GST make a Comment on the Invoice that "no GST has been charged".
