Hello info-michellehui,
Congratulations on the growth of your business! That's an amazing feat and I'm excited for you. I love that you've been using QuickBooks Self-Employed to manage your books and want to make sure you have the information you need about how to work with sales tax in this version of the software.
QuickBooks Self-Employed's sales tax centre is fairly simple: you navigate to the Taxes tab or Gear icon and choose Sales tax setup. From there, you can choose which provincial tax rates you need to work with and you'll be good to go. I suspect you may already be there since you're asking about how to configure PST only on your transactions since you don't yet qualify to charge GST. At this time, there isn't a way to select only PST for your sales tax.
To learn if there's a workaround for this sort of situation, I encourage you to reach out to our dedicated QuickBooks Self-Employed team. They'll be able to discuss this situation with you in more detail and determine the best way to move forward. Here's how to reach them.
- Select the Assistant feature.
- Type and enter "talk to human" in the chat.
- Follow the prompts.
If you'd like to leave feedback about the features available in QuickBooks Self-Employed, you can also do so using the Assistant feature. Instead of "talk to human," type in "feedback" and hit enter to see the prompts to follow.
Another option you can consider is switching to QuickBooks Online. This isn't right for everyone since it doesn't have the option to track personal and business amounts like QuickBooks Self-Employed does, but it does provide the option to use PST only on transactions. Here are a couple of pages that can help you decide if this would be the right move for you.
Wishing you the best with this!
