Hi The fact you require to split sales tax suggests you're accounting for a business in GnuCash.
For this use case there are the small business features. However these expect you to enter invoices and bills. And for invoices and bills you can set up tax tables that automatically calculate GST. It does come with the overhead of entering the invoice/bill details, which is also more than you're willing to deal with. There's no way that I know of by direct transaction entry. That is aimed more at personal accounting.
