Has anyone recorded invoices from a customs broker billing for GST on items imported? I can't get Quickbooks online to accept a line item that is just GST.

Hi Eco

Do this from a journal entry rather than an Expense or Bill.

Enter your tax account from your balance sheet as your line item, then QBO should allow you to select the relevant tax adjustment code to appear properly on your GST return.

Hope this helps!

Hi Eco,

The workaround we created was to create a $1 entry with GST/HST, and an offsetting -$1 entry (exempt).  Then you can manually enter the HST amount, while creating a net zero impact to broker expense.

Not the most elegant, but it works for us.

Hope that helps!

Could you please show this in QuickBooks Desktop Pro.

Thank you very much.
