Hey ap41,
I'm happy to see that you're being proactive in recording sales tax accurately. QuickBooks Online handles some powerful tracking behind the scenes of each one of your transactions, so you can file your returns without breaking a sweat. Sales tax calculations are CRA-compliant, but I know there are times it'll need to be adjusted. QuickBooks is all about giving you control over your finances, and it's easy to override this calculation. I'll gladly guide you through this.
Since it sounds like your invoice is already close to completion, it only takes a few simple steps to adjust the GST amount:
- Head to the Sales tab and open the invoice (or create a new one).
- Enter the correct Date, Customer, Product/Service, Quantity, and Amount.
- Make sure the Amounts are option is set to Exclusive of tax.
- Choose the appropriate Sales tax code.
- In the sub-total, adjust the GST amount as needed.
- Click Save and close or Save and send.
With these steps, you'll be able to adjust the tax amounts for all your transactions.
Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out any time.
