Mortgage payments & HST

Does the mortgage payment include GST/HST?
My statements doesn't show any hst/gst in it. I'm trying to setup tax code in quickbooks.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Your original mortgage amount would have had the HST rolled into it at the start, I expect. How you handle that in Quickbooks, I have no idea.

No GST/HST on mortgage amounts.

No Carbon Tax either!

No GST/HST on mortgage interest cost. However, you may have paid HST if you bought a per-construction house which will be included in purchase price.

Personal or Business mortgage?
Trying to recapture HST on the business portion of a personal asset (home) can get messy when you sell the home and something you may not want to do without proper financial advice.
