There is a further issue involved, and that is the difference between tax accounting and financial accounting. Meals and entertainment expenses, including taxes on them, may not be fully deductible for income tax purposes, but they can still be legitimate business expenses. Proper recording of financial performance should include them at their full amount. Adjustments necessary for tax filing do not affect true profitability. If you paid tax on a business meal, your bank or cash account is reduced by the full amount of the meal and tax.
All this is a long-winded way of saying you may not require any special accounting in Manager at all. If the sales tax is not offsettable, you would include tax in the price, not apply a tax code. And either way, you should record transactions at full amounts to obtain an accurate picture of performance and match cash/bank account transactions. Adjustments for tax filing purposes are off-book, not actual transactions of your company.

Add the balance of the transaction, which will be the unallowed tax, to a third line. Also post this to Non-deductible meals & entertainment. Or, you could just combine this amount with the non-deductible 50% of the purchase.
This way, all your expenses and taxes paid are reflected in your records and match bank or cash transactions. So your true profit is calculated. But the deductible and non-deductible portions are visibly separated for tax filing. And the Tax payable account is only reduced by by 50% of the tax paid on limited purchases for meals and entertainment. That keeps the offset amount correct.
I should have clarified: a tax as an expense from within the tax code setup function itself. Of course I can take the meals subtotal, split it into two, add 1/2 tax to one line and direct this into a nonrecoverable account, claim the tax as an offset at 50% rate on the other line and add a third and fourth line for gratuity, itself 1/2 recoverable and 1/2 not.
But as I said before, this seems like an horrendous amount of work. This is especially true when you consider it would need to be done, not just for client dinners, but for every meal while on business travel, etc.
I would enter a meal on 2 lines, distinguishing only the portion that was taxable from the portion that was not by initially posting those two lines to Tax-inclusive meals and Non-taxable meals. Then I would make one journal entry at the end of each tax filing period to move half of both those accounts (for the accounting period) to 50% Meals. Here is an example for a 100 taxable meal, 10% GST tax rate, and 15% non-taxable gratuity.
The payment is entered, including the tax in the amount on the Tax-inclusive meals line. No tax code is selected. (Leading numbers in Account fields in this example are account codes used to group accounts together for display.)
Now the balance sheet shows a debit balance in Tax payable, representing the ITC on 50% of the taxable meal charge. (If there were normal tax collections from customers in this account, the balance would probably be in credit.)
This is fine for now. I would prefer to not use the Journal, but without Canada-specific tax codes or the feature I mentioned this is the only approach that does not involve tripling my bookeeping effort it seems.
This class introduces students to the industries, practices, and concepts defining arts and entertainment technologies in the 21st century. The course focuses on contemporary and future concepts of Visualization, Music and Sound, Game Design, Experience Design, and Live Event Technologies.
This course serves as an introduction to programming and computational thinking for the purpose of creative expression. Using the p5.js library along with the JavaScript programming language, we will cover the foundational aspects of coding, including how to use variables, data types, flow control, functions, and objects. Students will develop these programming and computational skills in the context of creating their own algorithmic art. The skills acquired in this course are readily carried forward to other programming environments.
Art and Content is foundational instruction for concepts, tools, and techniques related to the creation of digital imagery. This course is a rapid-paced introduction to effective visual storytelling using industry-standard software and processes.
This course is a foundational introduction to tools and techniques used in operating computer systems, working with physical devices such as microcontrollers and sensors, designing interactive prototypes, and applying technical skills into a creative, collaborative, project environment.
This design driven course builds creative confidence through a range of methodologies including iterative design and prototyping, exploring research strategies, and exercising critical reflection. Students are encouraged to explore their individual creative interests in this project based class.
In these collaborative courses, students produce projects as a part of a larger team. Projects are large in scope and require thorough research, pre-production, production, and documentation to complete successfully.
In this group project course students conceptualize, design, develop, and fabricate a custom arcade game from scratch. Over the course of the semester, students work on teams to organize and prioritize their work into incremental deliverables that build towards a final project. They begin with a brainstorm and ideation process to rapidly generate ideas and form into teams based on specialties in audio content creation, visual content creation, game design, game development, fabrication, and physical computing. Students will work together to build, document, and present a final arcade project at the end of semester showcase.
This course is a lecture / lab course designed to introduce students to advanced concepts, methods, and systems utilized in the fields of live entertainment and immersive artistic practices. The primary focus is to explore core technologies and illuminate how each area of work within projection, lighting, sound and interactivity relates and is connected to others. Topics include: lighting, projection, pre-visualization and content creation. Students will produce a variety of original designs throughout the semester, adding complexity and network control as the semester progresses.
Indie Game Studio is designed for students interested in the intersection of indie game development, marketing, and publishing, with a strong emphasis on teamwork and project execution. Students will learn how to navigate the indie game industry from a business perspective, including marketing strategies, community engagement, publishing on digital platforms, and exploring funding options. In parallel, they will engage in a collaborative, project-based learning environment where they apply these insights, along with their game development skills, to create an indie game from concept to launch. The course culminates in a playable game, accompanied by a comprehensive marketing and publishing plan, ready for presentation to the public and potential investors.

Through a wide-ranging exploration of art history, student-selected contemporary design work (including interactive products such as video games), and emerging AI technologies, students gain a deeper understanding of visual narratives at the intersection of creativity and technology.
In this course, students will learn the process of creating gameplay animations, techniques to improve their animation workflow, and how to implement their animations into Unreal Engine. Animation is a very important step in the art pipeline, and the class will focus on creating a multitude of game ready animations, along with how to work with blendspaces, state machines, and other systems used by animators in the industry today.
Explore the principles of player-centric design, balancing challenge with reward, and creating intuitive navigation. Through hands-on projects in both 2D and 3D spaces, students will iterate and refine their designs based on feedback and playtesting. By course end, participants will have a portfolio-ready levels, showcasing their understanding and application of effective level design techniques.
An introduction to creating and working with game ready assets in 2D and 3D. Students create projects and learn how to work with the modern game engines Unity and Unreal.
