QST Quebec accounting software

Hengo is built for Quebec businesses. It calculates QST (TVQ) at 9.975% separately from GST (TPS) at 5%, displays bilingual tax labels on all documents, and generates separate returns for the CRA and Revenu Québec — all starting at $19/month.

Bilingual tax labels (GST/TPS and QST/TVQ)

Quebec businesses are required to display tax labels in both English and French. When your workspace is set to Quebec, Hengo automatically displays "GST/TPS" and "QST/TVQ" on all invoices, receipts, and reports. This ensures compliance with Quebec's French-language requirements without any manual effort.

You can also generate all financial reports in French, making it easy to submit documents to Revenu Québec or share them with a French-speaking accountant.

Separate GST and QST returns

In Quebec, you file two separate returns: a GST/HST return with the CRA and a QST return with Revenu Québec. Hengo generates both returns with the correct numbers for each, so you do not need to manually calculate or split the tax.

The GST return shows total GST collected (Line 105) minus input tax credits (Line 108). The QST return shows total QST collected minus QST input tax refunds. Both are ready to submit through the CRA's and Revenu Québec's online portals.
