To display the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) between the subtotal and total on your invoices in QuickBooks Online (QBO), you will need to customize the invoice template, jim. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure that HST appears correctly on your invoices.

  1. Click on the Gear icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
  2. Select Custom Form Styles under the Settings section.
  3. Find the invoice template you are using or want to modify.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. Go to the Content tab within the edit mode.
  6. Select the pencil icon to make edits.

After finishing with these steps, create a test invoice to check if the HST now displays correctly.
