Quick Method HST - Does ITC on Capital Property Get Added To Gross Income?

I'm an HST Quick Method (QM) registrant and I understand that I can only claim ITC's on capital property.

I also understand that under QM, the portion of HST that you keep gets added to your income (otherwise called Government Assistance).

Question - does the ITC on capital property get added as Government Assistance and therefore added to income? I ask because in a CRA review letter I received, the appeals officer wrote that my gross income needs to go up equivalent to the ITC.

Example with fake numbers:

$100k net sales + HST = 113k Gross

9,644 HST Collected [113k x 8.8% less $300 (1% credit on first 30k)]

1,300 HST ITC (13% of 10k of equipment purchased)

8,344 HST Remitted

3,356 Government Assistance (13k less 9,644)

So is the accounting income in this scenario 103,356 or 104,656?

Partial month incorrect charges

I’ve had one line with Fido for years and March 31 I switched that line and brought 3 new lines in for the $25 plan.

Since my bill cycle ends the 16th, my last bill had partial charges for March 31-April 16.

As you can see, the partial charges did not get the discounted so I was charged the gross $54 rate for those 17 days (54 x 17/30)

I ended up getting about $40+tax back but it was a painful 1.5h call yesterday. The first rep would not admit it was wrong and I had to escalate to a manager who credited me back as goodwill
