What is a Tax Registration Code?

A Tax Registration Code is a unique number assigned to a business entity by the IRS.
When you create a payroll in QuickBooks, you can choose between two tax registration codes: GST and PST.
However, if you use the PST code, your payroll will include the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) amount as part of your employee’s taxable income.

In addition, if an employer fails to withhold taxes correctly from an employee’s paychecks, that employer could be liable for back taxes.
