Canadian businesses pay two different tax rates: PST and GST/HST. Set this up in Dext so that we can extract both tax rates from your Cost items.

You’ll see fields for each of the tax rates when you’re viewing your purchases.
When you publish a bill to QuickBooks Online, the default tax rates that you selected on the connections page will be noted as the two tax values.

Note:
- If you purchase from vendors in more than one province, you’ll need to record the difference in PST values using our line item feature
- If your document includes GST, PST and tax-free purchases, you’ll need to record the tax-free part of your purchase using our line item feature
- If your document includes another tax rate (such as liquor tax) in addition to GST and PST, you’ll need to record additional tax rate using our line item feature
