Hi ap-thepackagingd,

 

Welcome to Community!  I'll be happy to provide the information about how PST is recordedin QuickBooks Online, so you're on the right track with your work!

 

When tracking PST in BC, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the PST on sales must be remitted to the province.  However, the PST you pay on expenses doesn't get deducted from those amounts when you file your PST.  For this reason, PST is now included in the expense total or capital item you've purchased.

 

Feel free to reach back out if you have other questions.  We'd be glad to assist!

Ignore the Quickbooks answer on this - they are not completely correct.  I had a similar issue and talked directly to the Province on this (Manitoba).  If you have purchases/supplies that flow through directly to your customer billing (ie trade services including materials in their customer invoice) you can claim an "ITC" - to use the GST terminology. Not office supplies or any other purchase that isn't invoiced directly to the customer either.

To handle that on your Manitoba PST filing you just net the amount off your "tax collectible on sales" line.  It doesn't have an ITC line like the GST online submission has.

I am still struggling with the QB tax reports and how to properly reflect these "MB PST offsets" and commissions in the software as I am finding little documentation on how QB tax transitions interface with the chart of accounts.  Seems filing with the MB govt is the easy part - who'd have thought!
