hello
I am trying to record meals and entertainment expenses where the gst/hst portion is 50 % recoverable.
how do i set up this tax code so that the gst/hst claimed is 6.5% and the balance of the gst/hst is recorded in meals and entertainment?
i have tried to set up a tax code with 6.5% rate in my settings. but when i go to record the transaction, I have to manually input the amounts since it does not calculate the correct expense amount.
so my bill is for $100.97 and the tax is 13.13. I want to record gst/hst amount for ITC as $6.56 and the expense amount as $107.53.
I think i have not entered the sales tax codes in my settings properly since no matter what i enter as the expense, I do not get the right entry unless I enter it manually.
any recommendations are appreciated,
thank you
