Correcting Multiple Sales Tax Adjustments
How can I clear out the accumulating balances of HST Collected & ITCs that have resulted from several sales tax adjustments being made over the last 6 months?
Scenario: Tax was not filed in QBD since June 2022. When I went back to file the taxes, I saw the generated amounts were different from what was actually filed with the CRA so sales tax adjustments were made. This happened in each month following. And each month, the adjustments needed to match the actual filing with CRA were larger and larger. Now, I am trying to file the sales tax for December in QBD but the amounts on lines 103 and 106 are grossly inaccurate.
Example: The actual HST collected for the month of December is approximately 62,000 but the tax agency report is showing HST collected to be 1.2 million (which is the cumulative balance of adjustments over the last 6 months).
If there is anyone who has fixed this problem before, your help now would be greatly appreciated!!
Please and thank you!!
