How sales tax works on QuickBooks

What QuickBooks does
QuickBooks Online can calculate sales tax on your invoices and keep track of what you owe to the agencies you’ve added.
Where it stops
It only tracks tax where you’ve told it you’re registered, so it won’t warn you about new nexus — and it doesn’t register you across states and countries.
What GoodVat adds
GoodVat reads your sales from QuickBooks, tracks every threshold, works out the tax due in each jurisdiction, and our local partners register you and file your returns.

Do I still need GoodVat if QuickBooks handles tax?

QuickBooks Online can calculate sales tax on your invoices and keep track of what you owe to the agencies you’ve added. It only tracks tax where you’ve told it you’re registered, so it won’t warn you about new nexus — and it doesn’t register you across states and countries. GoodVat fills that gap: it tracks every threshold across all the places you sell, works out what you owe, and our local partners register you and file your returns.

What does GoodVat use from QuickBooks?

GoodVat reads your sales invoices, credit notes, customers, items, tax codes. Counted against every threshold and used to prepare your returns.

Can GoodVat register my business and file my returns?

Yes. Registration and filing are done by our vetted local tax partners in each region, using the data already in GoodVat. Because the work differs by country, it’s priced per country and quoted upfront. If you’d rather file yourself, every plan includes ready-to-file returns.

Which countries does GoodVat cover?
