QBXML Item Sales Tax vs VAT - quickbooks

Hi I'm having an infuriating problem with QuickBooks UK. I am doing an InvoidceAddRq and sending ItemSalesTaxRef:FullName. I have "EGS" in my Item List as a VAT item. I also have EGS in my VAT code list after creating an item for testing. I cannot get it to post as it says:
'There is an invalid reference to QuickBooks Item Sales Tax "EGS" in the Invoice.
QuickBooks UK doesn't use Sales Tax - it uses VAT - nowhere can I find to enter a Sales Tax other than VAT. What do I need to do here to get my invoice posting?

Use the below sample code for sales tax
<SalesTaxCodeRef>
<FullName>Standard Sales</FullName>
</SalesTaxCodeRef>

For non-US versions of QuickBooks for Windows, you do not use ItemSalesTaxRef at all.
Instead, you just use SalesTaxCodeRef.
You should be specifying SalesTaxCodeRef for every single line item. Do not specify ItemSalesTaxRef at all.

Is it possible to create invoice line items with an auto lookup tax type using the Xero accounting API?

I have an Item set up with Tax rate: Auto Look Up
But when I create in invoice via the API containing line item with this item code, the tax is not looked up.
I've tried retrieving my Items from the Items API, to see its TaxType. It is set to "AVALARA".
I've tried overriding the TaxType on my line item to AVALARA. This is accepted by the API, but invoice does not appear to show the looked-up rate.

How to get details (unit, quantity, price) from XTRF customer invoice API?

We are using the Customer Invoice Api, but we can'n get the details of the jobs, as unit, quantity and price. Only the "totalAgreed", that is the amount already calculated (quantity * price) of the job. How can we recovery this information?
Project.json and invoice.json do not brint this information.
You can use the Browser API from XTRF. This way, you first create a view within XTRF where all the information is present. Then you execute the Browser API with the Customer Invoice ID as a filter.

Send "Total Vat Amount" with Invoice and Description from my database to Xero account

I am using "Invoice PUT method" to store invoice details from server to Xero account.
Is there any way to import "Total Vat Amount" with Invoice and Description?
Because some of my old invoice are not include Vat amount.
I have found a tag "TaxAmount". Is it same as Vat amount? If yes, then how can I use "TaxAmount" in Invoice PUT method.
Thanks.
Yes, VAT is equal to tax.
In Xero API, TotalTax is a read-only value thus cannot be used with PUT. However, you can use TaxAmount to insert the tax calculation.
Notes:
TaxAmount is normally used to insert your own tax calculation. If the TaxAmount is not used, Xero will automatically calculates its value from the default tax rate of the nominal/account code.
Xero calculates taxes for each line item(s). Thus if your invoice only a single line item, the TaxAmount = TotalTax

QuickBooks POS Store Names

I have 2 access questions within the Inuit QuickBooks POS SDK:
Can I access the Price Manager, and get sale dates for inventory items?
Can I access the preferences to get the current defined store names?
Thanks!

Not sure about #1. I don't see SalesDate listed in the OSR.
Store names are in the CompanyQuery.

QuickBooks adding sales tax adjustments using QBFC

I am trying to add a sales tax adjustment to QuickBooks using QBFC but I cannot figure out how to accomplish this. Any ideas would be appreciated. In order to do this in QuickBooks you need to right click on a tax code and then select "Adjust Sales Tax Due"
Sales tax adjustments are journal entries, so you would use the JournalEntryAdd message to create one. In order to understand how to set up a tax adjustment: first, create a tax adjustment, then take a look at the journal entry you created by going to Company -> Make General Journal Entry, then set the List of Selected Journal Entries selector to "This Month". You should see the tax adjustment in the list. You can highlight it to see the debit and credit that was created by the adjustment, as well as the tax vendor assignment.
