Per the CRA, Per Diems include GST/QST and I don't see how Expensify handles this?
I need a fix asap on how to have per diems include GST and QST. I can't find an option anywhere and won't let me edit to change the tax. If I try to split it, it doesn't let me touch tax there either. If Expensify is really missing this essential feature, what is your work around please? Thanks.

Thanks!

Hi there. In Canada, a reasonable flat per diem is inclusive of GST/HST and QST depending on where the travel took place. This has been confirmed with a call to both taxing authorities.
Your help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi @mintaccounting, thanks so much! I have a discussion with my team ongoing about this now. For transparency, this is the first request we've received for supporting tax on per diems, so we'll need to do our research and work with our team to determine future support for this functionality.
Either way, I'll be in touch as soon as I can.
