The online software Advataxes applies the exact method for calculating input tax credits and input tax refunds, however a report can be created applying factors of the factors method. The software does not integrate the provisions of the Indian Act or the provisions of the First Nation Goods and Services Tax Act. The software considers employees are reimbursed on the day the expense report is finalized by the approver. The input limitation applicable on food beverages and entertainment under paragraph 236(1) of the Excise Tax Act and section 457.1 of the Quebec Sales Tax Act is calculated at the time the employee expense report is finalized. The software should not be a substitute to obtaining a consultation on Canadian tax matters. It is actually advisable that users seek technical expertise to understand tax concepts the software is automating.
