    Hello CQuartz,

     

    It's great to learn you're using QuickBooks Self-Employed to help manage your sales tax. I'll be happy to steer you in the right direction so you can enter your sales tax invoice without running into issues. 

     

    To get started, it's important to check in with your accountant for expert advice on how to enter the invoice on your account. This helps prevent any accounting errors in the future. You're more than welcome to get in touch with an accounting professional on our site using this link here. Otherwise, I'll be glad to assist you with navigating the program by showing you how to create an invoice, etc. 

     

    Let me know what works best for you. I'll be one message away in case you need anything else.

    This is actually an expense, not an invoice I'm trying to create. It's a duty / HST / freight invoice from a shipper that delivered an order of supplies I purchased overseas. The normal GST/HST rates don't apply here, as the HST makes up approximately 75% of the bill. I can't seem to find a way to input this HST expense and have it count as an ITC for my HST / GST submission. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Hi there CQuartz,

     

    Thanks for getting back to us. What you could do would be to create a Bill by clicking on +New, then Bill. Add the fees before taxes as a line item in the bill, then select the correct tax code you'd normally use. You can adjust the amount of taxes you'd like in the text boxes shown in the Tax breakdown on the lower right.

     

    If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.
