Question

Sales tax when selling items in another province

I am VERY new to Quickbooks online so please bear with me. My sole ownership small  business is the province of Quebec, I sell my products in Quebec and other provinces. I have my clients setup with their full info and addresses. When I create an invoice, add the client from another province, I would expect that the system would recognize that province and adjust the sales tax for the province that my client is located in and apply it, but it does not and I cannot choose the tax rate for that province as this is what I understand is supposed to be done.

 

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi TBParts,

Welcome to the Community. It's important that you are able to successfully apply each province's taxes to your transactions to keep your books balanced.  QuickBooks is a great program that offers the ability to track your sales taxes to ensure that the correct amount is reported to the government. I'd be glad to point in the right direction on how to add other provincial taxes to your transactions.

In order to apply other provincial taxes to your transactions, you will need to add the provinces in the tax centre. I'll explain how.

 

  1. Click on Taxes on the left navigation menu.
  2. Choose Sales tax.
  3. Select Manage Sales tax > and then Add tax.
  4. On add the provinces where you track sales tax, click on Add.
  5. Select the drop-down menu and choose the province you'd like to add.
  6. Click on Add and then Done.


Once added, you'll be able to apply provincial taxes to your invoices and expenses.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be happy to help.
