ok - so I finally figured out how to paste screen shot. The secondary box is the Journal Entry display to show how the GST is calculated. In this case we use the GST Paid on Purchases account nbr and not the GST adjustment account nbr. Also since I am not claiming the PST back it is showing as an expense. But since you are claiming the QST back then you should just enter Gst only tax code and then another line for the QST amount against the QST account nbr.

Hope this explains it? Let me know.

I have the same situation as Marc does. However, if I enter Gst charged on imported goods without a tax code, the tax report won't show those GST amount. Therefore, the gst paid on purchase amount is greater than the tax report amount. Is this normal like this?

For example, the gst paid on imported goods is $100, I have the Gst paid on purchase account $100,but tax report will show $0 Gst paid on purchase.

Thank you for your help.

Hello MTLFALL,

It shows on my report. I do the following steps:

- Reports /Financials/Transactions by accounts

- Enter the dates for the period covered and select

1. GST/HST charged on sales (Acct# 2310)

2. GST/HST paid on purchase (Acct# 2315)

3. QST Charged on sales (Acct# 2340)

4. QST Paid on purchase (Acct# 2345)

- Hit OK

Last amount reported in the balance column indicates what you paid and charged in each category. Substract what you paid from what you charged and voilà.

When recording GST paid on imported goods, I put Acct# 2315 and no tax code. For advanced clearance fees, I use acct# 5180, put in the amount and GQ (GST and QST) in the tax column.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Marc

Personally I never use the Tax report because if you fail to use a tax code at any time, it doesn't show and if you post something in a previous period, it will not show either.

This is how I have always done the entry.  On the second line use Ctrl-Y to add the tax amount of $100.  The tax report detail section is below if you really need to use it.  Use an appropriate description for what you want to see in the future to explain the tax.
