GST/HST rebates are available on purchases you make to run your business. Recovering GST on invoiced purchases is straightforward, because it’s an itemized expense. If you are paying lump sum amounts to craft labour for living out and meals, you don’t have an invoice to read the GST off of. Abio’s GST/HST recovery rules isolate the amount of GST that would be incurred for each of the living out amounts.
To set up a GST/HST Recovery rule, navigate to [e] Job Costing, then [u] Set Up, then [d] G/HST Recovery Rule Entry.
