Step by step

1. Taxes are set per item

Open an item and look at Taxes and fees. This one charges TPS (GST) at 5% and TVQ (QST) at 9.975%.

2. No tax assigned means no tax charged

Clover warns that leaving this empty means taxes are not applied to the item. Check new items before you sell them.

3. The Taxes report

Finances, then Taxes shows applicable sales and net taxes collected for the date range you pick.

4. Match it to your filing period

Set the date range to your GST/QST filing period, then export for your accountant.
