[GNC] Accounting for GST in Australia

[Nathan Ellery]

Hello Alan Thanks for your reply.
We are aware of the need to split transactions not entered as bills or
invoices.
However, we are entering invoices through the invoicing system within
Gnucash, and the tax amount shows correctly on the actual invoice entry,
but the amount of tax is not going to the GST accounts on the chart of
accounts. How can we check the set-up to determine exactly why this is or
what do we need to do in order to make the GST go to that account in the
chart of accounts?
Appreciate your help on this,

And thanks Christopher, yes we did read that article but it doesn't seem to
be working correctly.
regards Nathan
