Question

We prepared our quarterly sales tax (GST/QST) tax payment and filed it so does Quickbooks file this electronically with the government or do we need to do another step?

Hi there, 


QuickBooks Online is the best way to streamline your business bookkeeping to keep everything in one place. I know how important it is to make sure all the proper forms are submitted to the government, such as your tax return. I'll explain how the process works with QBO.

 

While QBO allows you to record your Sales Tax remittances, this only helps you generate the proper numbers and make a record in your books. You'll still be responsible for submitting any Sales Tax payments to the government directly. 


If you need any assistance with that process, you can always reach out to the CRA directly, or consult with your accountant. If you're not yet connected to an accountant in QuickBooks Online, you can find one in your area here: Find an Accountant. 

 

I hope this helps clarify things for you. If you have any other questions, please reach out to our tech support team.

 

Cheers.

Hi rosyskgbar,

 

Thanks for joining us here. It's important to use the correct government forms for your business needs. The Sales Tax remittances article shared above by my colleague Addie is a great step-by-step guide on how to file your return. If you'd like more information on which government form to use and how it should be recorded, I strongly recommend reaching out to your provincial tax agency and your accountant. In case you don't have an accountant, you can find one using the link in the first response to this thread.

 

Have a nice day!
