Review GST/HST Summary and Detail

Review recorded GST/HST collected and eligible tax amounts for a selected period.

Availability

GST/HST report navigation appears only when GST/HST tracking is enabled in Business Profile.

GST/HST Summary

  1. Open Reports > GST/HST Summary.
  2. Choose a Report Period. Its From and To dates remain visible and

read-only, or choose Custom Range to edit both dates and select Apply.

  1. Review the CRA-aligned working lines. Line 101 reports sales and other

revenue before GST/HST and provincial sales tax, including completed zero-rated or exempt income. Income/Other Income Journal Entry activity is included only when it carries an Exempt, Zero-rated, GST, or HST sales classification. A blank Sales Tax selection and Out of Scope are excluded. Lines 103 and 106 are calculated from completed bookkeeping records; the report also shows their calculated totals through Lines 105, 108, 109, 113A, and 113C. The Transactions value counts each source transaction once, including a split transaction that contributes more than one detail line.

  1. Review zero-valued adjustment, credit, and other-debit lines carefully.

xBoox shows only amounts recorded separately in xBoox and does not infer filing-only adjustments, instalments, rebates, or self-assessed amounts.

  1. Select Line 101 to review its supporting income, Line 103 or 105 to review

collected-tax details, or Line 106 or 108 to review ITC details. Net and balance lines open the complete GST/HST detail for the same period. Use GST/HST Summary in the detail page to return without losing the selected period.

  1. Use Export CSV or Print when required.

Purchase refunds and credits reduce the related Line 106 input tax credit when they are posted to an eligible Expense or asset account. They are not treated as sales merely because money was received. The saved recoverable percentage also applies to eligible asset purchases. Likewise, reductions posted to an Income account reduce Line 103. Completed income marked Out of Scope is excluded from Line 101; exempt and zero-rated income remains included.

Record a filing or settlement

The selected period includes optional GST/HST filing & settlement tracking. Expand it only after you have reviewed your own records or completed your CRA filing.

  1. Select Reviewed to retain a manual review acknowledgement.
  2. Select Filed after you have filed the return yourself.
  3. To select Filed, enter both the filed date and CRA confirmation/reference.
  4. If a payment was made or a refund was received, select that settlement type

and record its date and reference.

  1. To record a settlement, enter both its date and payment/refund reference.
  2. Select Save filing record.

Before saving, xBoox recalculates the exact selected period. If Line 101 revenue, tax totals, or currency changed after the report loaded, refresh the report and review the current figures before saving. If another user changed the filing record, or a bookkeeping change occurred while saving, xBoox rejects the stale save and asks you to refresh. The filing record and its audit entry are saved together. Saving also preserves a snapshot of Line 101 revenue, calculated collected tax, ITCs, net tax, and currency shown for that period. If historical bookkeeping is changed later, use the snapshot to identify that the current calculation differs from the amount previously reviewed or filed.

xBoox saves this as a Workspace audit record. It does not file with the CRA, create a payment or refund, link a bank transaction, clear account 2500 GST/HST Payable, or move an instalment from account 1300 automatically. Record the actual bank transaction using the appropriate reviewed Category and retain CRA evidence with your records. Ask an Accountant when a filing-period difference needs an accounting adjustment.

While a period remains marked Filed, xBoox blocks Journal Entries dated in that period, including reversals. Return the filing record to Reviewed before making the change, then review the updated report and filing evidence again.

GST/HST Detail

  1. Open Reports > GST/HST Detail.
  2. Use the same period controls.
  3. Review transaction-level tax records and saved tax snapshots.
  4. Use Export CSV or Print for supporting review.

When Detail is opened from a calculated Summary line, it shows only the supporting Line 103 or Line 106 transactions. Net and balance lines show both. Select a GST/HST Detail column heading to sort all matching rows before pagination. The table shows 50 rows by default and offers 100, 200, or 500 rows per page. The TOTAL row reflects the complete filtered result, not only the current page.

Data rules

  • Reports use tax amounts stored on completed transactions.
  • An explicitly adjusted GST or HST component uses its confirmed saved amount;

the report does not recalculate that component from the current tax rate. A Split contributes its saved line components using each line's money direction. PST and QST remain separate provincial amounts.

  • Dashboard uses the same collected-tax and recoverable-ITC calculation for

the selected date range, including the saved recoverable percentage and signed refund adjustments. Its GST/HST Owing card displays zero when the period has a net credit; open the report to review that credit.

  • GST/HST return direction follows the posting account's accounting

classification and Money Direction. A money-in refund posted to an Expense or eligible asset account reduces ITCs instead of increasing tax collected. Split asset purchases and refunds follow the same rule as non-split activity.

  • Imported explicit tax may retain an override flag and source values.
  • Historical transactions retain saved tax-code labels and rate snapshots when available.
  • PST may be stored for audit and expense treatment but is not the same as a GST/HST input tax credit.

Important boundaries

These reports do not:

  • file GST/HST;
  • compare xBoox automatically with a filed return or CRA balance;
  • create a remittance, refund, or automatic account-clearing entry;
  • guarantee tax eligibility or treatment.

Use the reports for review and Accountant handoff.
