My old version of Quickbooks used to have a "split tax" box to check in the "enter bill" screen. Now that I am using QB2004 I really miss it because it's no longer possible to quickly work out the tax component of an amount. The "amts inc tax" box only applies to the entire transaction, not individual splits within a transaction. With GST in NZ at 12.5% and me being un-mathematically inclined, it's not a quick mental calculation and it seems silly to get the calculator out when I'm dealing with a financial programme.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and have some advice for me on how to deal with this?
Thanks in advance, Jo
