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?
