I was told I can write off the hst on a car that I bought this year in January (2019) and apply the hst on last years hst (2018) so that I will pay less hst.Is this true?

I’m going to be filling my hst soon and my accountant said I can do this?

You can claim Input Tax Credits (ITCs) on your GST/HST Return, not your income tax return (T1).
