Bill Pay helps small businesses save time and money by enabling them to schedule their payments online straight from their QuickBooks screen.

SOME TIPS

  • All vendors selling goods or services, that are HST applicable, must list their HST number and the amount of tax charged on their invoices
  • Advertising/Membership dues/Business License Fees all are a few of the expenses that a Sole Proprietor or Self Employed can deduct
  • Your business should have a separate credit card from your personal credit card.  You can claim any interest on a Business card as a Business expense
  • Your business bank should always be separate from your personal bank account.  Any banking charges and fees can be expensed
  • If the receipts are for meals, make sure to indicate who was at the dinner and what you discussed.  The maximum amount you can claim for food, beverages and entertainment expenses is 50% which includes only 50% on HST.
  • Try to mix business with pleasure – A seminar attended or a supplier visited can allow you to write off a portion of your trip.
  • A few of the other expenses you can write off; postage/office supplies/telephone/internet/business auto fuel, etc.
