Thank you for your question.

The column you enter it, will depend on the type of tax that was include as part of the purchase.

For example- $100 expense, before taxes

If you paid GST, $105 would be entered in GST column

If you paid 13% HST, $113 would be entered in the HST column

If no taxes were paid, $100 would be entered in the exempt column.

if you paid GST and HST. What amount do you put in each of those columns? ie: home maintenance or internet?
