The form itself is very self explanatory. You essentially fill in the amounts from your receipt in the first 4 fields. Note Quebec receipts may list the French abbreviations:<center>National: <span style="font-size:18px;">GST<i class="fa fa-arrow-right"></i>TPS<br></span>Provincial: <span style="font-size:18px;">PST<i class="fa fa-arrow-right"></i>TVQ</span></center>
The name indicated in the "<u>Payable to the order of</u>" will be the name printed on the cheque once it's processed. In most cases, the Cheque Req will be filled out for someone to get reimbursed on a purchase. In other cases, when you need a cheque to be made out to a company, '''''this same form will be used'''''.<br>
The "<u>account name</u>" and "<u>account number</u>" can be obtained from the account booklet located in the [[McConnell Engineering Building#EUS Office|EUS Office]] (see diagram below).<br>
===Proper Receipts===
A proper receipt shows the pre-tax amount, the provincial sales tax, and the government sales tax. It also shows the TPS (GST) and TPQ (PST) numbers of the business. Note Quebec receipts may list the French abbreviations:<center>National: <span style="font-size:18px;">GST<i class="fa fa-arrow-right"></i>TPS<br></span>Provincial: <span style="font-size:18px;">PST<i class="fa fa-arrow-right"></i>TVQ</span></center>If any of these elements are missing, the sales tax will be charged to your accounts, and you might not find out until it's too late. Generally speaking, receipts that are provided by a store include all of these elements by default, and you probably don't need to bother checking them.<br>
Pizza places and other small cash businesses commonly give you handwritten receipts without the proper information, but these can still allow you to be reimbursed- just don't expect to get charged the pre-tax amount if you don't have the tax numbers. Likewise, pizza places, cab drivers, and other businesses often will take cash tips, but if you want to be reimbursed for the tip, get them to write the tip on the receipt and sign for it.<br>
