Payroll Question

[Melissa lutz]

Thanks for getting back to me Christoph,


I do have it set under business. I'm bookkeeping for a business and need to track all of the income and outcome for 2016 for taxes. I need to record what the business has purchased and sold but more importantly, the HST on everything. is there a way to set tax on what i record to automatically calculate and track that instead of manually splitting every transaction? I've never done anything like this before so may need a step by step answer. I'm looking through the GnuCash manual but i can't find the answers i need. I really appreciate the help!


Melissa

Hi Melissa,

I am using the business features to achieve this. For smaller purchases I am creating collection bills for multiple purchases. Tracking payments for these bills can be a pain though. This gives me the added benefit to automatically charge back to customers.

Cheers,
Christoph

Hi Derek,


I am trying to use GnuCash for tax season and was wondering if I can set an automatic tax for my entrees or if I'll have to type it all in manually. For example; Expenses: Supplies: Walmart: from checking account: 10.00. Can i have it automatically take 13% HST into another section to keep track of what I've spent in HST? I'm looking at the tax table for Sales but I don't know if it'll do anything for purchases. Manually I can enter a split transaction and the HST goes to taxes HST but with the amount of purchases I'm looking for a faster way.


Thank you for your help!


Melissa

I am very new to GnuCash and I have no idea how to add in employee
payrolls. I looked at the website but I'm assuming it's outdated
because there is no increase or decrease columns, just expense and
rebate. the split transaction is also very confusing and not doing
exactly what i want it to. Do you have advice for me on how I should
be adding this information? I'm learning this all from scratch. There
were also no youtube tutorials on it.

GnuCash has no direct payroll support.  The Employee business features
are only designed for expense reimbursements, not payroll.

You can still use GnuCash to *account* for payroll transactions, but you
will need to perform the payroll computations (withholdings, etc) out of
band and just use GnuCash to keep track of it.

Having said that, you would need to provide much more detail about what
you are trying to do, how you tried to do it, and how (you feel) gnucash
is misbehaving or not doing what you want... And then we can try to walk
you through the process of entering in the transactions in a way GnuCash
will be happy with.

Hope this helps,

Thank You
