GST vs PST

So I charge GST and remit that, but I don't charge PST.

 

When I set up expenses, in order to calculate GST correctly, I can enter the amount and tell QB that the item is GST and PST'ed and it calculates both correctly, then properly adds them to the books (I think).  It doesn't think I owe PST to the government because I don't collect it.

 

BUT I created a reimbursable expenses income account, so that I can pass these costs through to the customer - BUT I can't figure out how to make PST and GST add up on that item without charging my customers PST on the invoice.  Unlike with an expense, putting PST on an income item adds it to the invoice as a PST line item at the bottom.  Which looks like I am collecting PST!

 

I don't want to have to upgrade to a higher level of Quickbooks to do Projects.  Is there another way?

 

How do I reimburse expenses from a client that calculates the GST properly?

 

Or am I doing this all wrong?
