Where do you code TFN withholding tax ?

Hi amlec-westnet-co,

Thanks for posting in the Community! 

After you've finalised a pay run there will be a payroll journal exported to QuickBooks Online Chart of Accounts. These payroll journals have GST codes and are allocated to the wage expense and PAYG liability to be reported in your BAS.

Furthermore, if you are trying to categorise payroll payments in QuickBooks Online? If so, most customers use the Payroll Clearing account. Here's how:

1. Click on the Transactions tab, then select Bank transactions.
2. Select the bank account you use for paying employees, then find and select the transaction.
3. From the Transaction type dropdown, select Expense.
4. From the Category dropdown, select the payroll account, for example, Payroll Clearing.
5. From the GST dropdown, select an appropriate tax code, For example, Out of Scope.
6. Select Confirm.

To double check the  default payroll chart of accounts set up in your account. Here's how to:

1. Click on the Payroll tab.
2. Click on Payroll Settings.
3. Click on Chart of Accounts.
