Every expense in Weel now carries a tax rate — a structured value like “10% GST” or “GST Free” — instead of a free-text GST amount. Here's what changed and why it makes your books more accurate.
What's a tax rate, and why isn't it a free-text field anymore?
Previously, Weel asked you to type in a GST dollar amount. The problem: accounting software like Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB and NetSuite doesn't work that way — it manages tax through structured rate objects. That mismatch was causing GST mismatches, failed exports, and finance teams double-checking every expense before month-end.
Now, you select a tax rate from a dropdown — the same rates your accounting software already uses. What you pick in Weel is exactly what lands in your books.
Where do tax rates come from?
- If your business has an accounting integration (Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB, NetSuite, Business Central or Wiise), your tax rates sync automatically from that system. Weel doesn't create rates of its own or override what's there — it mirrors your accounting software.
- If you don't have an accounting integration, your admin sets up and manages your available tax rates directly in Weel.
What rates will I see?
This depends on your business, but common examples include 10% GST (Australia), 15% GST (New Zealand), GST Free / 0%, and BAS Excluded. Rates are labelled the same way as in your accounting software.
Where do I select a tax rate?
On any card transaction, reimbursement or invoice, each line item has a Tax rate field. Choose the rate that applies before you submit.
If a single expense includes items with different tax treatments — say, a supermarket shop with both GST-applicable and GST-free items — you can split it into separate line items, each with its own rate. See Splitting an expense across multiple tax rates.
