Hi, I have just updated the NZ GST Localization from Manager, now all of a sudden I find a heap of transactions in Suspense.  
I really don’t know what to do with them. I have tried to update, but nothing happens, I have searched on the Manager guides but not to much info there. Has anyone else experienced this problem Im sure Im missing something quite simple, any suggestions would be appreciated.  
Thanks Grandpa

Have you used the standard tax codes?

Check the tax code settings -it’s likely that the Tax account associated are incorrect

Hi

Tax codes seem to be OK. All was well until I updated NZ GST. Since update all GST transactions have ended up in Suspense, and I don’t know how to “get them out”.

Again many thanks.

There are topics in the forum aboout this - it is generally caused by the renaming of the tax liability account

You need to post screen images of the tax settings and of a tax transaction

The guide [Create and use tax codes](https://www.manager.io/guides/8901) has further information on the change which was introduced in this area in November

See

> Manager’s handling of the account “Tax payable” has recently changed. From [Releases](https://www.manager.io/releases/) page

> > 09 Dec 2019 Fixed tax payable starting balance issue by converting it from built-in account into regular account (see topic) 19.11.85

> In the past it was a special system account automatically created when a tax code was used, and the default account in all tax codes unless a specific account was selected by the user. Now “Tax payable” is an ordinary account (which can be deleted or renamed if present at all in a COA), and all tax codes default to “Suspense account” unless explicitly set to a specific account.
> 
> The Tax code guide has been updated to reflect this change and if Managers version update code does not automatically implement the conversion you will need to manually configure the account used by each of your tax codes, see the updated guide on tax codes for details.

Sorry I was wrong. In Chart of Accounts I have “edited” GST from drop the down list and selected to show, GST 15% and saved. Will keep reading for what I must have missed.  
I have attached 3 of screenshots. There must be something else I’m missing to do.

@Grandpa, you need to show a screen shot of the Edit screen for the tax code itself.

No, that’s the list of tax codes. You have to click the Edit button.

Thats ok then @grandpa because I have pointed out in the past that the import/export amounts were in the wrong place on the GST return but nobody took any notice of me so I reworked the return to put it in the right place
