QST Period-End Procedures
The end of your reporting period for QST (Quebec sales
tax) is generally the end of the month. For more information about reporting
periods, contact the Ministère du Revenu
du Québec.
At the end of your Quebec Sales Tax reporting period:
- Print a Tax report. Print in detail and summary form as at the last day of your QST reporting period.
- Print a balance sheet. Print as at the last day of your QST reporting period.
- Make any changes needed on the Tax report, comparing it to the balances on the balance sheet.
- Fill out the QST Return.
- Back up your company files.
- Account for your payment or refund.
This procedure also clears your QST accounts to prepare them for the next reporting period.
- File the balance sheet and QST report with other receipts or supporting documents for this QST period.
