How to remove the GST Summary from an invoice?

Software: #QuickBooks #accounting software

Although you have designed the invoice template with Subtotal, Tax Total (GST), and Invoice Total fields in the form footer, the GST Summary (Sales Tax Summary) is still automatically displayed after the last item.

The GST Summary includes the tax rate and tax amount. For users with multiple tax codes on a single invoice, having the GST Summary printed can be useful.

If you prefer the GST Summary to appear as a separate field rather than after the last item, you can add it from the Footer tab in the template designer by checking the Sales Tax Summary checkbox.

GST Summary

If you have set the GST Rate in the footer (for invoices with only one tax rate), you may not want to display the GST Summary field, as it could be redundant. However, showing the tax summary is mandatory in QuickBooks, and it must appear either after the last item or as a separate field. Since you cannot remove it, you may consider “hiding” the GST Summary field if the tax rate is already shown in the tax amount label. To do this, move the GST Summary field to the side of the form, reduce its size, remove the borders, and change the text colour to white. Although the GST Summary field is technically printed on the form, it will be invisible on the printout.
