How do I enter a Chq with HST.

Hello amitaliano,

Being able to assign a sales tax code to a cheque that you're writing is essential, and it's really easy to do in QuickBooks Online. Let me go over it with you.

If you're not seeing the option to add a sales tax code on your cheque right now, it's likely that you haven't set up the sales tax centre just yet. You'll want to follow the steps below to ensure that it's set up:

1. Hover over the Taxes tab from the left menu. Select Sales Tax.
2. Click to Set up sales tax.
3. Choose the province or territory that your business is based in and hit Save.
4. Enter the required details including the Start of your tax period, Filing frequency, and Reporting method and hit Next.
5. Click OK ok the next screen and you'll be ready to add sales tax to your transactions.

I know that many businesses collect or pay sales tax in provinces outside of their home so if you need to add additional sales tax codes you can simply navigate to the Sales Tax page again and hit Manage sales tax, followed by Add tax. Just choose Start tracking in a new province to select any additional provinces you'll need codes for.

When it's time to enter a cheque from the + New button, you'll be able to choose the appropriate sales tax code from the Sales Tax column that'll be showing next to Amount. I'd like to share a comprehensive article on setting up sales tax that I hope you'll check out: How to set up a new sales tax code.
