QuickBooks Online applies discounts at the invoice level. Re-Leased handles this by spreading the discount proportionally across each line item, keeping amounts and GST/VAT totals accurate after sync.
How Discounts Are Distributed
Re-Leased allocates the invoice-level discount across each line item based on its relative value — producing a fair split so every line reflects its share. When lines use different GST/VAT types, the proportional discount is applied while preserving the correct tax treatment on each line.
GST/VAT-Exclusive vs Inclusive Invoices
GST/VAT-exclusive invoices — Re-Leased shows base amounts and adds GST/VAT afterwards to reach the total.
GST/VAT-inclusive invoices — Re-Leased shows exclusive values by default on synced invoices. When you edit a GST/VAT-inclusive invoice, the full inclusive values and their discount splits are displayed.
Rounding Differences
QuickBooks Online and Re-Leased handle decimals differently — QBO truncates to 2 decimal places while Re-Leased rounds. This may cause small differences in totals when discounts and multiple GST/VAT types apply on the same invoice.
GST/VAT Recalculation Warning When Editing
If you edit a synced invoice in Re-Leased and a rounding mismatch is detected, Re-Leased shows a warning before recalculating:
The total tax amount from QuickBooks Online is [QuickBooks Online tax amount]. Editing this invoice will re-calculate tax using the current tax rate (as shown below).
This helps you keep GST/VAT totals aligned and avoid unexpected changes.
Re-Syncing Edited Invoices
Edit the synced invoice in Re-Leased.
Save the changes.
The invoice re-syncs to QuickBooks Online automatically.
Review updated totals in QBO after its recalculation.
Note: Expect small differences after re-sync when rounding and mixed GST/VAT types are involved.
GST/VAT may be referred to as Tax in North America. For more information on regional terminology, see our Glossary of Regional Terminology.
