This feature has been wanted for a long time: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371581 > For example, I buy a widget for $100 + 5% GST = $105.

Although this system only really works for accrual accounting, because the VAT/GST will posted to VAT due, unless you route it through some temporary accounts. For entering it in the General Journal directly: I guess you already know the built-in calculator features of gnucash, so that you could write 10000*105 to get the $105 paired with the use of account numbers for making the entry easier. But for what it’s worth I also would like to have a way to have a column for the tax-table to use in the transaction register. However for I seem to have understood it’s very deeply ingrained in the business features, that it would be a lot of work to do so.
