17- GST, HST Reports & Remittance

GST / HST setup for Provinces

This tutorial walks through how to set up sales tax (HST, PST and GST) for different provinces in Canada.

Lets get started.

First we need to create an account in the Chart of Accounts to track the HST and GST charged on Sales.

go to Chart of Accounts and click on File – Create.

I created account number 2390 and called it HST charged on Sales. I already have GST charged on sales account. Make sure the Type is a Subgroup Account is ticked so it lands in the same area as other GST accounts. because when you get a report all the GST and HST on Sales will be in the same area.

Click Save and Close once your done.

Now from the home screen drop down the Setup menu – Settings – Company  and Sales Tax.

Settings GST HST

 

Once Sales Tax is chosen click on Taxes and add the new HST Charged on Sales account you just created and click OK.

Settings Taxes

 

the system puts you back to the home screen. once again go back to Setup – Settings – Company – sales Tax and this time choose Tax Codes. List all the provinces that you sell to.

Now you need to give each province its own tax rate by clicking on each code and going deeper into the program.

the rest of the provinces can be set up the same with their own providential tax rate.

Hope this helped.

Hi everyone.

Recently I was asked how to set up tax table with split taxes.

ex: 5% GST (2.5% and 2.5%)

in this screen you will record all the tax code you have followed by a description.

you can also choose to see the tax code in a specified journal. either payable or receivable.
