I don't meant to tell you what you should do with your own accounts :-) I
wonder, though, shouldn't you put in the GST that you actually paid? I'm
guessing that you are Canadian (me too :-) ) The GST that you paid should
be on the bill if you are in BC.
If you are trying to calculate the GST portion of the HST (for caculating
what GST you have already paid on items that you are selling on???), then I
*highly* recommend using the:
($127.75 * 0.5)
notation rather than putting in the actual amount. If you don't, you
*will* get rounding errors. Although I can understand your desire to see
the actual numbers in your ledger, it's probably more important not to have
rounding errors.
