The sales tax report is based on invoices issued. Each time you create an invoice item, you should choose the sales tax rate for that item. Each time you enter a bill, expense or bank payment, you should choose the rate of tax you can reclaim. FreeAgent then adds all these transactions up in the sales tax report.
