MyWorks makes it as easy as possible to handle accounting for the sales tax collected in WooCommerce orders from the United Kingdom. We'll automatically sync the tax charged on the order into QuickBooks Online as we sync the order: all that's needed is mapping your UK VAT tax rate(s) in WooCommerce to their corresponding tax rates in your QuickBooks.

Setting up sales tax for UK

If your QuickBooks Online company locale is in the UK, you'd manage your UK VAT in QuickBooks in your QuickBooks VAT Overview tab. 

MyWorks allows you to easily map your WooCommerce sales tax rates to the sales tax rates present in your QuickBooks company. There are two areas in MyWorks to manage this. 

Settings > Tax

In MyWorks Sync > Settings > Tax, you can set your QuickBooks tax rate that should be applied to items that are not taxed in your WooCommerce orders. This is normally a tax rate named “Out of Scope”, or “Exempt”.

Map > Tax Rates

In MyWorks Sync > Map > Tax Rates, you can view your WooCommerce tax rates and select the matching QuickBooks tax rate for each.  

  • The 20% VAT rate for the UK can be mapped to its corresponding 20% rate in QuickBooks- normally named “20% S”. 
  • Any additional territory where you charge separate/additional tax in WooCommerce can be mapped accordingly to another rate in QuickBooks. This is less common to see.
