Add Input Tax Credit Only

Hello there,

 

I'm having difficulty recording an input tax credit only in quickbooks against a cheque paid out to a vendor. 

 

Scenario:

An insured property owned by Company A was damaged in a storm and a vendor was brought in by Company A's insurance company to help cleanup. The vendor issued an invoice to Company A's insurance company for work completed. The insurance company only paid the pre-tax amount to the vendor leaving Company A to pay the outstanding taxes (HST in this case) for that invoice. Company A paid the taxes to the vendor with a Cheque from their Bank Account.

 

In QBO, the entry is pulled in from the bank however I am having difficulty in QBO assigning 100% of that cheque's value as an ITC. I have tried assigning the individual expense transaction category in QBO as GST/HST Payable: GST/HST Paid with no tax applied to the amount. 

 

Should I be doing something else to recognize 100% of this payment as an ITC so that when I run a Taxable Sales Summary report (Taxes -> Sales Taxes) this entire amount is listed under HST on purchases (Input Tax Credit)(13%)?

 

Would appreciate some guidance. Thank you in advance.

You can create a check like this:

 

Expense account $0.01 select HST as tax code

Expense account -$0.01

 

Then at the bottom enter the total tax amount in the HST box. The total will be equal to HST amount and you will have full ITCs.

Thank you, this worked perfectly. 

 

I also had to adjust that the final amount calculated is "Exclusive of Tax".
