How do I include PST as part of an expense? For example, an item is $100. There is $5 GST and $7 PST. The GST needs to be separated out but not the PST.

So the actual expense is $107 and the GST input tax credit is $5.  It's easy if it's $100, but requires pulling out the calculator with less obvious amounts.

Is there a helpful answer to this question, or just "ask your accountant"?

Hello HPM86. Thanks for chiming in on this thread. The PST can be included as part of the line item when recording expenses. Depending on your situation I'll be happy to guide you in the right direction with navigating the program, however, when it comes to accounting advice it's best to get in touch with your accountant for expert advice. Let me know if you have other questions.
