Customers who purchase both taxable and non taxable items?

Hi... we are starting to sell products that are subject to GST (our existing products are GST free).    How do we invoice a customer that purchases both GST and Non-GST products?   Does the customer tax code always override the individual item tax code?   Any advice appreciated!

    I have never used the customer tax code.  The reason for this is that it is the supplier of goods and services who determines whether a supply is taxable not the recipient and this decision must be made on a sale by sale basis.  Having said this the tax codes used on the invoice override the "customer tax code".

    When invoicing I use multiple lines for various items and make a GST/FRE/EXP etc determination for each line.   My experience, using the approach, is that the BAS related reports produce accurate results.

    Many thanks for your advice Bruce, greatly appreciated!  I can see that all of our customers have been set up with a tax code so I will try and remove it and try again... :-)
