HST entry on Expense Bills

When I enter payable invoices I somerimes need to enter HST that is different that the calculated 13%. For example for broker invoices the charge their rate where the HST is calculated normally. However we also need to pay the HST on the item imported. A bill may have $40.00 broker fees and $110.00 HST. How do you enter that cleanly? There are other situations where this type of thing happens.. So far I have just entered the taxable goods with tax excempt, and them entered the HST rzx excempt and posted that line to an GL account. Now I have HST payable in another account than the proper HST account. What is the solution?

HST entry on Expense Bills

I use the expense or bill window for this. I would enter $40 on line 1 and categorize it brokerage fee. Keep the tax exclusive. Then when the tax shows up in the tax window for the $40 you can type in the proper amount of HST. It will look like a $40 expense has $110 of HST but you can put a note in the memo window why it is like that. Seems to work well for me.
