What this helps you do

Tell Upstorr whether your store should create GST tax documents for new orders.

Before you start

Ask your accountant whether this store must collect GST. Upstorr can create the correct kind of document after you choose, but it cannot decide your legal duty for you.

If you will turn tax collection on, first add every GST registration your active fulfilment locations need.

Steps

  1. In the Upstorr admin, open Settings.
  2. Open the Tax section.
  3. Find Collect Tax.
  4. Set Collect tax on this store to Yes or No.
  5. Save the Tax settings.

Choose Yes when Upstorr should calculate GST and create GST tax documents. Choose No when new orders should use plain payment receipts instead.

What happens next

The choice applies to documents created for new orders. When tax collection is on, every active fulfilment location must be attached to a GST registration for that location's state.

The Documents page also changes with this setting. Tax collection on shows GST document designs; tax collection off shows payment and refund receipt designs.

Common problems

  • A location does not match a GST registration: add the registration, then attach it to the correct inventory location.
  • GST fields are missing from products: make sure tax collection is on, then reopen the product.
  • You are unsure whether to select Yes: ask your accountant. Do not guess from the type of products you sell.
