New company setup- sales tax not calculating

SUGGESTED

I have set up a new company. I did it manually. Everything looked good but now that I am trying to enter expenses, the HST is not calculating and it won't allow me to enter it manually either.

    Now that I checked, the tax isn't calculating on the sales side either. Since I have other companies that this works on, I know there is a glitch somewhere, but I am not sure where.

    Hello   and thank you for using the Sage Accounting forum page.

    I would recommend you start by checking the following online help, it covers setting up your taxes in Sage Cloud Accounting.

    Go to Settings, Sales tax to open the Sales Tax Settings page, enter your registration number and select when your tax compliance reporting period deadlines are in the Tax Return Frequency field.

    Once that's configured, the same online help covers at the very bottom how to include taxes in transactions.

    This should resolve your issue, but in case it doesn't, please reach out to our support team via chat for further assistance.

    Thank you for choosing Sage.

    That doesn't work for me. I can go into Settings>Company>Sales Tax>Tax and this is what I have entered which matches the other companies I have set up. There is no place to select the compliance reporting period that I can see. And yes, I went to online help first and did not find an answer, that is why I came here.
