Question

How do I include PST as part of an expense? For example, an item is $100. There is $5 GST and $7 PST. The GST needs to be separated out but not the PST.

So the actual expense is $107 and the GST input tax credit is $5.  It's easy if it's $100, but requires pulling out the calculator with less obvious amounts.

Is there a helpful answer to this question, or just "ask your accountant"?
