Is there a French version of the GST/QST sales tax that will appear as TPS/TVQ on invoices to Quebec clients?

Hi there,

Welcome to the Community. Recording your transactions the right way is a good method for keeping your books clean. Rest assured, I'll be happy to show you how to set up a custom tax rate in QuickBooks.

Based on what you've described, I encourage you to check out the following article that shows you how to: Add a custom sales tax rate for an existing sales tax agency. The article provides the necessary steps required for you to add the tax rates you've described to your account. 

Feel free to ask other questions. I'll be a message away.

Hello JamesM4,

I have attempted this solution and it looks like it still won't print as TPS/TVQ on customer invoices in French. Instead, what we are getting is invoices in French, with all titles and line items in French, but then the taxes section is in English. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

Any other suggestions? We have already set up Quickbooks and would prefer a solution that does not involve starting over and setting up our company entirely in French, especially since we still require GST/HST for our English-speaking customers.

Best regards,

Jacqueline
