Question

On the GST/HST return, the first line Sales and Other Revenue is including things that are not taxable like donations and government grants. How do we correct this?

We are a Canadian charitable organization that operates a bookstore so we have taxable sales, but not all of our revenue is taxable.

Hi carol-folkeringa,

 

It's great to see you in Community.  Welcome!  With QuickBooks Online you'll be able to locate what's causing the Sales Tax to be calculating using our Reports feature.  I'd be glad to assist you!

 

First you'll need to run a report to identify what has Sales Tax applied that shouldn't be.  Here's how:

 

1. Select Taxes from the left sidebar and hit the Sales Tax tab at the top

2. Over to the right, click on the drop-down arrow for Reports and choose the Taxable Sales Summary

3. Enter the Report Period, Tax Agency and the Accounting Method then Run Report

4. You'll be able to click on any of the transactions to open, review and make any necessary changes.  Don't forget to Save and Close!

 

That's it!  You're ready to go back to the Sales Tax Centre and prepare the return!

 

If you have any other questions, or require additional assistance, please feel free to reach back out.  We'd  love to help!

Thank you for the instructions.  When I run the report, it is showing Zero-rated and Exempt purchases and sales as part of Sales and Other Revenue (line 101).  If I click on these, there are numerous transactions listed BUT the tax coding is correct; it just should not be showing up on the Tax Report.  How do I correct these tax codes so that they do not appear on the report?  It is my understanding that Line 101 should only be Taxable sales.
