Map ServiceTitan tax zones to QuickBooks Desktop tax ratesLast updated on 02/28/2023

To automate sales tax tracking when you export invoices to QuickBooks Desktop (QBD), map ServiceTitan tax zones to the equivalent tax rates or group in QBD. This ensures ServiceTitan and QBD use the same tax rate to calculate sales tax. Before you begin mapping, make sure you set up tax rates in QuickBooks and tax zones in ServiceTitan.


Things to know

When you export an invoice with sales tax:

  • ServiceTitan exports sales tax to the TAX field on the invoice in QuickBooks.

  • The tax zone used in ServiceTitan appears in the item description of the invoice in QuickBooks, which allows you to quickly confirm that both systems have the same sales tax calculated.

  • If an invoice item is taxable in ServiceTitan, it’s marked as taxable on the invoice in QuickBooks.
