    Re: New to Simply Accounting

    Hi Kim,

    I too am new to Simply and have a few questions on remitting PST (ontario). I hope you can help! I have set up accounts as follows #2300 PST Charged and #4250 PST Compensation, also I have set up Minister of Finance as a vendor. How should I key in the entries to debit and credit the accounts accordingly, then print a cheque?

    Should I use Misc. Transactions or Pay Remitance or something else? Thanks for your Help if you can, I'm new to Simply (using 2006/7)

    That can be done in the Payments Journal by using the Make Other Payment option.  Insert Minister of Finance in the Pay to Order field and if your compensation is $20.00 and your PST Payable is $100.00 the entry would look like this (hit Ctrl+J before posting to verify): 2300 PST Payable Dr 100; Bank Chequing Account Cr 80; 4250 PST Compensation Cr 20.

    Hi there:  I find the simplest way to make this kind of payment is to go to the Payments window, select Make Other Payment, and then do the journal entry with the amounts to the accounts you choose.  In the case of paying the PST amount you would pick Minister of Finance as your Vendor and then Dr. the PST Charged account with the amount you are clearing, Cr. PST Compensation account with the amount of your compensation and Cr. Bank account for the amount of the net cheque.  Double check that your journal entry is doing what you want it to do (Control+J) and if it is then Print the cheque and post. 

    As always, there is more than one way to do just about anything in Simply, but like I said, I find this the easiest way to handle this particular kind of payment.    Rita Deering
