You can upload transactional information of a bank card statement (credit card or procurement card) in Advataxes. You will still need to add a digital photo or a pdf of an invoice for each transaction, for Canadian tax purposes. Advataxes has several functionalities in that respect including an App.

The year 2018 ended on an excellent note. Indeed, Ad Valorem was awarded for Advataxes earlier this month the “Innovative Travel Technology 2018”. A total of 8 innovation awards have been granted by Levvel Research, formerly PayStream Advisors, as the result of the evaluation of more than 90 solutions. The management of recoverable GST / HST and QST on employee expenses is at the center of Advataxes innovation. See the «Award» page here
See also the press release page here

We should note that a predominant client comment is to the effect that Avataxes is easy to use. See the Capterra website; here
In addition, historical data of recoverable GST, HST and QST for organizations with expenditures across Canada and outside Canada indicates a very high level of precision of recovered GST, HST and QST. See the page «Study» here
In this context, it is an accomplishment to both properly recover GST / HST and QST, while remaining easy to use for all employees completing their expense accounts. Since Canadian value added taxes can be as high as 15%, it is a question of economic importance for a wide range of organizations. See our «Simulation » page; here

Advataxes, an only employee expense software with a strength on handling recoverable GST/HST/QST has been nominated by the firm PayStream Advisors for a Technology Innovation Awards in the ”Travel & Expense” category. The handling of meals & gratuities in this video is an example on how Advataxes has been designed to address GST/HST & QST rules. Optional tips is not subject to the GST/HST/QST, so we ask all users to put optional tips in a separate field. We also ask users to include the total before tips in a separate field and select the province and the date in which they incurred the meal expense. Once that is done, the rest is automation. It is much more efficient that asking employees to select a tax code (i.e CAON, ER, EN, etc..) since your typical employee filing out an expense report is not a tax expert. Furthermore, due to the added precision, it allows organizations to easily use the exact method, which is much more beneficial in terms of saving and managing recoverable taxes. On this issue refer to our webpage entitled “Exact Method Versus Factors Method”. At the end of the day Advataxes was designed to address the Canadian sales tax environment first because there was nothing out there really designed to address this to the extent we’re doing and second there is a lot of money involved, see our “simulation” page.

Within an interpretation bulletin dated October 25, 2017, (TVQ 206.1-10) the Government of Quebec explains the mechanics of the phasing out of the ITR restrictions for large businesses (LB) starting on January 1, 2018.
The scheme of these rules is similar as the current one that exists under the HST regime for LB in Ontario and in PEI.
As a recap, this QST measure grants an ITR at the rate of:

25% for the period of January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018
50% for the period of January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019
75% for the period of January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020
100% from January 1, 2021 and after, to LB on expenses covered by the ITR restrictions.

Generally speaking those expenses are:

• Kilometer allowances
• Fuel for vehicles of less than 3,000 KG
• Vehicles of less than 3,000 KG
• Meals and entertainment (including meal allowances)
• Telecommunication
• Energy

Paragraph 13 of this bulletin mentions that the QST paid for a lease interval of a vehicle that begins on or after January 1, 2018 will entitle the LB to an ITR at the rate of 25%. QST paid for a lease interval that begins on or after January 1, 2019 will entitle the LB to an ITR at a rate of 50%. QST paid for a lease interval that begins on or after January 1, 2020 will entitle the LB to an ITR at a rate of 75%. Finally QST paid for a lease interval that begins on or after January 1, 2021 will entitle the LB to an ITR at a rate of 100%.
Paragraph 43 of the bulletin deals with allowances, such as kilometer allowances. The paragraph stipulates that allowances paid in 2018 will entitle the LB to an ITR of 25%, and so forth for the subsequent years.
As for meals and entertainment and meal allowances, LB have to take into consideration that in general these expenses are also subject to the usual 50% limitation.
