To record GST/PST when paying taxes to CBSA, use the category section in your expense and target the GST/PST account, exempting it under tax codes, @lynne24.

 

To determine the correct sales tax code, consult an accountant to ensure your books are accurate. If you don’t have one, visit our ProAdvisor page to find professionals skilled in handling finances and providing business solutions.
