    When you record a transaction against an account the GST portion of the transaction is filtered off to the linked GST accounts. For example, I record a tax-inclusive invoice for $110.00, the income account is impacted by $100 with $10 going to GST Collected account. 

     

    In terms of job costing, job costing is done on the value that has gone against the profit and Loss account (income, cost of sales and expense). As the GST portion is syphoned out at the time of recording that transaction, the amount against the job would be the transaction income/expense account tax-exclusive value. As such, when reporting it will showing the tax-exclusive value with no option to add in the tax-inclusive amount.
