Hi there
the article does not explain how to import tax-free invoices. After a short conversation with one of your chat operators, I have found how to do it.
In the Line: Tax Code setting in the mapping, you would need to put a value that depends on your specific locale. To find out what the available values are, go into quickbooks online, select the tax name on the left side menu (for australia, it’s the GST menu) – you should land on this page https://sg.qbo.intuit.com/app/tax/home. Then click on the “Edit” button on the top right and choose the “Edit rates” option. You should land on a page with all the available tax settings
Hope this helps
