Hello, 

I'm using QuickBooks Online, and when recording a sale OR an expense the Tax always posts to the GST/HST Payable account. Tax on Sales should be going to the payable account and tax on purchases should be going to the Receivable account, how can I change this ?

Hello Stephanie111,

 

Thanks for connecting with us here. QuickBooks is a versatile program that simplifies the way you manage your transactions. I'll be happy to share more info so you're on the right path with achieving your goals. 

 

The tax module in QuickBooks is designed in a way that allows for it to adhere to the rules and regulation of the CRA. Since the ability to change the tax parent account isn't available, I recommend sending feedback about this to our engineers. You can send feedback by clicking on the Gear icon and looking for Feedback

 

Give this a try and let me know if this info helps. I'll be one message away in case you have other questions. Otherwise, I wish you a great rest of the week.
