I have a tax code called QcCanada which contains two tax items as follow:
Federal: 5,00
Provincial: 9,975
I use this code to add taxes to my sales invoices elements.
At the end of each trimester I have to declare those taxes to the government and pay them. But I need to know the total amounts for Federal and Provincial separately.
Right now, I can only see the total for the tax code QcCanada, which is not very helpful in this situation.
This is a deficiency I’ve raised before, but no change has been implemented yet. While it is simple to create custom tax codes with multiple elements, and all those elements show separately on invoices, the tax reports lump them back together. As in your situation, I must charge sales tax with four components, all payable to different taxing authorities on different schedules. Yes, a little algebra provides a workaround, but it is frustrating not to be able to get a professional-looking report.
So, I add my endorsement to your suggestion for a report that breaks things out.
Balance sheet is always as at. If you require to see movements in balance sheet accounts for the period of time, you can use General Ledger Summary report which you can run for date range.
