SALES TAX

Simplify your sales tax

Q: Does QuickBooks calculate sales tax?

Once the sales tax is configured in QuickBooks Online, it automatically makes the calculations for you based on the sales tax chosen. These calculations let you know how much is owed to the CRA or owed to you based on the transactions entered in the program.

Q: When do I have to start collecting sales tax?

You must register for a GST/HST account and start collecting sales tax to remit back to the CRA once you exceed $30,000 revenue in a single calendar quarter or in the last four consecutive calendar quarters. Learn more in The Small Business Owners Guide to Provincial Sales Tax (PST,GST,HST).

Q: Is the Sales Tax AI Agent available in all QuickBooks plans?

Yes, Sales Tax AI Agent is included in all QuickBooks plans and it's available only in English and French.
