Hi Christian
I had a python program written for me to insert the 10% gst into a qif
file download, I reckon it has saved me thousands of hours of manual
entry over the last 10 years.
If you are interested I can send you a copy. It's not perfect but it
does the job.

Hello all,
I would like Gnucash to automatically create a split transaction for sales
tax when a taxable product is bought/sold. I deal with a lot of
transactions, and its a pain to manually enter the sales tax for each one.
I'd rather just work within the general ledger and have Gnucash do it
automatically.
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. I want Gnucash to
automatically create the split, and allocate $5.00 to the GST liability
account.
The only way to do this in a fully automatic fashion is by using the
business features with the tax tables and writing invoices.
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.
Kind regards
Christian Kluge
