Hi,

I'm confused about tracking and remitting PST in SQL-Ledger.

In my province I do not get input credits for PST but I notice that
SQL-Ledger tracks PST paid as an input credit in the PST Payable liability
account by default.

I suspect I should be tracking this as an expense as opposed to offsetting
the liability since I am accountable for the entire collected amount when I
remit PST.  I'm not sure how to set this up though.

Here's what I did:

Unlinked the default (liability) PST account from Payables
Set up a second PST account as an Expense account and linked it to
Receivables

PST paid on purchases such as office supplies are now tracked as an expense.

When I pay my PST I run a report on the PST payable account and enter a GL
entry:

Chequing Account: Credit pst_amount
PST Payable: Debit pst_amount

Have I done this right or am I completely out to lunch?

Thanks,

Ian
