Question

Is there a French version of the GST/QST sales tax that will appear as TPS/TVQ on invoices to Quebec clients?

We attempted to add a custom tax with the French name, but it wouldn't break out the federal 5% and provincial 9.975% components on the bill.

Hello JamesM4,

 

I have attempted this solution and it looks like it still won't print as TPS/TVQ on customer invoices in French. Instead, what we are getting is invoices in French, with all titles and line items in French, but then the taxes section is in English. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

 

Any other suggestions? We have already set up Quickbooks and would prefer a solution that does not involve starting over and setting up our company entirely in French, especially since we still require GST/HST for our English-speaking customers.

 

Best regards,

Jacqueline
