AU - Manually edit AU GST on transactions
In Australia, users need to be able to manually edit the amount of GST paid on a transaction. This is required because certain transactions (particularly grocery and pharmacy transactions) have a mixture of items, some of which have GST applied, and some that do not. Unfortunately, the receipts for these types of transactions do not indicate which specific items have incurred GST - they just have a total amount of GST paid on that receipt. As such, it would be great if users could just override the total amount of GST paid for those receipts. See attached for an example of such a receipt.

Michelle - fine, but the need to override GST in Xero still exists :)

The # infront of each item purchased is the item that has the gst component. (on the woolworths receipt)

would be great we we could override or manually edit the GST on a transaction that may be part GST and part non GST, like any item that is only part deductible rather than having to manually split into two lines one gst and one non gst. Keeps the gross as one figure, easier to trace.

This is very important to my business as well. The invoices I'm thinking of do list which items are subject to GST but there's no need for us to put each one into Xero (that'd be far too time consuming), just the total for each invoice, but at present it isn't possible. :(

Manual GST input should be available in AR / AP.
I am dealing with a supplier invoice that has a private ruling from the Australian Taxation Office - the company's GST is not 10%, it is calculated based on a ratio of taxable and non-taxable food items, making them a mixed supply of GST applicable items in one pack.
This is causing rounding errors.
If only GST amounts or percentages can be manually overridden and inputs in the "New Bill" screen and the final amount can be changed to match the supplier invoice.
This is something that I would expect Xero to have already.
It is annoying to have to go into Accounting > Advanced > Tax Rates to create a ruling which doesn't apply to every invoice this supplier is issuing as the ratio of taxable and non-taxable food items can vary with each delivery. For example, sometimes the GST is 5.61% and another time it was 5.13% as calculated.
Please make this a thing.
