PAYG withholding is not posting in the BAS journal. QB is posting this out of PAYG tax liability instead. Please advise how to update to correct GL

Hi there,

PAYG amounts are recorded in the PAYG Tax Liability account because QuickBooks is configured to post these transactions there, based on your current setup for payroll-related tax accounts.

To update this, you can allocate the PAYG amounts to a different category or select a new one under the PAYG Liability account.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon in the upper right corner.
2. Under Your Company, select Payroll settings.
3. Select Chart of Accounts and click Default Accounts.
4. Click the drop-down menu under Default Payroll Liability Account.
5. And choose PAYG Liability.

Please be aware that any changes made here will only apply to unfinalised pay runs. To apply these changes to a finalised pay run, the pay run must first be unlocked and then re-finalise the pay run.

You can return here anytime, whenever you need assistance.
