Sell tickets
What was sold, where the buyer is, the tax for that place and matching the payout when it lands.
In the books, the Wizard walks this task beside you and ticks each step from the books as it lands.
Say what was sold, and where the buyer is
Tickets, a table at the fair, a workshop seat — name what was sold and the amount. Say where the buyer is, because the tax on a sale follows the place the sale is made. The app asks for the place; it does not guess it.
(Done on the Sales page.)
Let the app work out the tax for that place
The screen shows the tax worked out for that place, in the open: GST/HST at that province’s rate, and PST where it applies. Two law notes can ride here. The rate follows where the sale is made. A sale taxed at 0%, because it leaves the country, needs its proof kept.
Tax collected is the government’s money from the moment it is charged — it never stands as the society’s revenue.

Record the sale
Before it records, the screen states the act: what was sold, the amount, the tax and where the money rests. The money rests in the bank, or with a platform holding it first. Record it, and the sale joins the period’s tax figures at the same moment.
(Done on the Sales page.)
Match the payout when the statement comes in
If a platform took the payment, it keeps its fee and sends the rest days later. That payout is a statement line like any other. Match it against the sale when the statement comes in, and the platform’s holding account clears to zero. A law note rides in the detail.
Tax a platform collected is sent in by the platform. The note says which sales that covers, so the society does not send it twice.
