Question

Quebec Sales Tax

Hi there... I'm just setting up a new company with Quickbooks Online.  I'm based in Ontario and registered for HST.  I am also registered for Quebec sales tax (QST) and pending sales tax registration for other provinces.

 

I have my QST number and have updated Quickbooks Online with this information.

 

When I make a sale to Quebec I understand I should be charging "GST" + QST.  Quickbooks should look after all of that I'm confident, however the remittance of "GST" is collected by Quebec tax officials and not CRA like other provinces (again, someone correct me if I'm wrong).  Will my filing for "QST" include "GST" with Revenue Quebec?  Sorry if that seems like a silly question but I figure now is the right time to ask these questions before I have any sales associated :)

 

I didn't register in Quebec for a "GST" number as I understand that's automatic with my HST registration ... is that also correct?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

Welcome to the QuickBooks community. QuickBooks Online offers a solid Sales Tax Centre where you can keep an eye on your returns so you're ready to file when the time comes. I'll be happy to assist you with this. I suggest contacting the CRA directly at 1-800-959-8287 to get the most accurate answer regarding GST remittances for different provinces. For more details about GST/HST Rulings, check the official CRA website here: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/publications/rc4405/gst-hst-rulings-experts-gst-hst-legislation.html.

 

As you mentioned, QuickBooks Online will look after the calculations for you and you can review the reports directly in the tax center. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Select Taxes from the left menu
  2. Select the Sales Taxes tab
  3. Next to GST/HST, click on the little arrow to change the sales tax
  4. Select View reports
  5. Select Taxable Sales Summary
