Most shop software treats tax as one number and inspections as an optional add-on. JSD ServicePro bills GST and PST separately, keeps PST-exempt customers exempt, ships a CVIP commercial vehicle inspection template, and syncs the right tax code into QuickBooks Online.
The real app — invoice with GST and PST broken out, work order and dashboard.
Two taxes, some exempt customers, and a bookkeeper who needs both to line up. That is the requirement — here is what the app actually does with it.
Not one blended rate. The invoice shows each tax, the totals you remit match the breakdown, and the customer can see exactly what they were charged.
A flag on the customer record, not a note in the margin. Exempt customers stay exempt through the estimate, the work order, the invoice and the record that reaches QuickBooks.
Your shop setting picks the QuickBooks tax code, and the customer's code follows the invoice. No one is re-selecting a tax code from memory at 9pm.
GST and PST rates live in settings and are editable, so a rate change is one update rather than an invoice-by-invoice correction.
Record e-transfer, cheque, cash or card against the invoice, including partial payments and a confirmation number or cheque number for the file.
Net 15, Net 30, Net 60 or due on receipt — set per customer, carried onto the invoice, and used to work out the due date.
Customers can see their machines, work orders, estimates and invoices without an account to remember — and approve an estimate from a link in the email.
Tax lines, inspection standards and field conditions differ from one province to the next. Each guide covers what changes for a shop working there.

British Columbia guide13% HST carried correctly, MTO-style inspections, site work written up before the drive back.
Ontario guideThis is software, not tax advice. Provincial rules differ on what is taxable, who qualifies for an exemption, and what a given inspection must cover — the app applies the rates and exemptions you configure, so confirm your setup with your accountant or your province before you rely on it. The inspection templates are starting points and should be matched to the standard your province, insurer or client requires.
Tax, inspections, pricing and the books.
Yes. GST and PST are separate rates on every estimate, work order and invoice, with the breakdown shown to the customer and carried to QuickBooks. The rates are set in shop settings and can be changed at any time.
