I was referring to a number of things. The fact that the reporting period is changed to be March through June instead of March through August (because of the HST being introduced in July), the Compensation entry being pre-printed "AT LIMIT" on this final return before HST applies... The compensation has to be subtracted from the QB Tax Collectable on Sales amount and difference put into the Tax Collectable on Sales field of the form instead. That's simple of course.
My real problem was with QB 2009, which I've just started using during this PST report period, showed an Adjustment amount in the Sales Tax report equal to my last PST payment. Okay, so I just subtract that from the PST Collected and Payable that shows on the QB report and that's my PST payable for this report period. But, The Compensation amount on that QB report shows the compensation of my last report period, so I had to enter an adjustment to make it equal the appropriate compensation amount for the current report period (after verifying that said compensation really was posted in the previous report period). There was a further adjustment for some discrepancy, details of which I forget at the moment.
Finally, when I carried on through to the QB Pay PST payable, I found an unpaid balance (in the Min. of Finance Pay Bills) window of which I new nothing. I suspect it is for adjustments my accountant made at tax time in April, but will have to track that down. I have visions of being 3 months late with a PST payment and them wanting to whack me with their userous penalties for that. My calls and e-mails to my accountant, who I use only at tax time, go unanswered. <Sigh> That's what I meant.
