I wasn't using Reports at all. There was a pulldown, I think it was under
Business, maybe next to the current 'Sales Tax Table' item, that would
list the transactions related to sales tax collected. But it's not there 
now.

But I see now Reports | Income & Expense Reports | Income & GST statement,
I think I can select items that will give me
the equivalent. Thank you, I didn't know about that. So I'll use that.

I don't know what you're looking for under 'account structure'?
Both Sales and Interest have "tax related" checked. But that's for
income tax forms, not gross receipts, right? If you tell me how
to disclose that, I could do so.
I have an account Income | Sales - that is subject to Gross Receipts tax
and
an account Income | Interest - that is not subject to GRT

You're saying under the GST Report options I need to select
'Sales' and deselect 'Interest', right?

I assume you mean under the Report you suggested? The
Income and GST Statement?
Yes, I deselected it and it seems to work.

Thanks!
