Custom GST Amounts on imported goods
Hello,
I've been trying to solve this issue for a couple years now and can't seem to find a fix (also spoke with QB support and accountants who have not been of any help).
My business requires me to import good from the US into Canada. When importing goods, I must pay the GST on the total value of the shipment. My issue is, when adding the invoice to QB, I can't overide any tax amounts. For example, I bought 7500$ (CAD) worth of products from the US. My invoice at the CBSA office would be 450$ where 75$ would be duties / other import fees and 375$ would be GST.
Is there an easy way to break down the invoice and manually split the correct amounts? The QB assistant says this functionality is not available, however I have a hard time to believe QB can't sort this type of transaction... Every time I just end up cancelling my subscription, however with my business growing, Excel is too time consuming and will eventually need to make the switch to a better software.
TIA
