SELF EMPLOYMENT FOR GST

Let us help you with your invoice GST concern in QuickBooks Desktop, lovers.

 

If registered, the obligation to charge GST/HST is consistent even if your revenue falls below the small supplier threshold of $30,000 in any quarter. This threshold primarily determines the need for registration, but once registered, charging GST/HST becomes a continuous requirement. With this, we recommend consulting with a tax professional or accountant to make sure your business adheres to all tax regulations and maintains accurate financial records.

 

If your accountant recommends you charge GST/HST to that invoice, then we can delete the previous one and create a new invoice with the GST/HST amount. Here's how:

 

  1. In the Customer Center, find the customer for whom the invoice was created.
  2. Click on the customer name, and then navigate to the Transactions tab.
  3. Here, you will see a list of all transactions related to that customer. Find the invoice you want to delete.
  4. Double-click on the invoice to open it.
  5. Once the invoice is open, you can go to the Edit menu at the top of your QuickBooks window.
  6. Tap Delete Invoice, or press Ctrl + D on your keyboard as a shortcut.

 

Once done, recreate the invoice ensuring you add GST/HST this time. You can follow the steps and details in this article: Create an invoice in QuickBooks Desktop.
