How to produce and submit provincial PST/QST and federal GST/HST sales tax returns in Sage Accounting.
Sage Accounting tracks the tax you collect on sales and the tax you pay on expenses.
You report these amounts at the end of each reporting period. If your business registers for GST/HST or provincial tax, you need to charge and collect these taxes from your customers. You pay the government when you collect more tax than you pay, or you get a refund when you’ve paid more than you collected.
Enter your tax registration number and remittance frequency in Settings, Business settings, Sales taxes. You can also export sales tax returns in CSV or PDF format.
