How do I charge this tax to my customer? Canada?

We have a small business in Ontario. We occasionally ship to a location in Quebec, but the invoice gets sent to the company's head office in Ontario, with HST at 13%. I have trouble collecting these invoices because the company says I should be charging QST. I do not have a QST account to collect QST on behalf of the province of Quebec. My accountant says that because it's invoiced to Ontario, that is the jurisdiction and I should be billing under Ontario's tax system anyway, no matter where the actual product is shipped. Does anyone know? Has anyone else encountered this?
