How do I get QB to calculate the "commission" on the PST filing? My PST filing in QB did not match eTax b/c of the discount that is rec. for filing and paying in full.

The "commission" (discount) is received for filing and paying in full each month. It is essentially like a thank you from the government for collecting and remitting on time. Quickbooks did not calculate for the commission and therefore the amount owing was not correct. I made a manual adjustment to the return to correct this but it threw my cash out of balance as a result of offsetting the adjustment to the cash account. 

How can I get QB to correctly calculate the PST return the same was at e-tax?

We handle the 'commission' portion of our BC-PST returns by manually making a "sale tax adjustment' for the commission amount before 'filing' the return.  So its not automated at all.

Hi Mike, thanks for your response. I had manually adjusted for this on my last return but it ended up hitting my cash twice - once in the return itself and then again as the adjustment. Have you run into this issue as well? Where are you adjusting for the commission?

The PST commission is adding to the Minister of Finance PST account and adding to the income account.  It should be the other way around.

I wanted to post an update to this where I found an online video that addresses the commission on the PST reports and not filing correctly.
