Recording corporate tax liability and payments

Hi 
I need some help please recording corporate tax due / liability and also corporate tax payments.  I have the figures for my corporate tax 2021-2022 (Apr 2022 year end) that needs to be paid by end of this month (Jan 2023).  I only started using QB in May 2022 so haven’t recorded any corporate tax for 2021-2022 (and don’t know how to do this). 

1) How do I record in QB the corporate tax due for 2021-2022 in QB.  I’ve never done this before so don’t know how to log it?  Is it a retained asset / liability account etc.  Please can someone give me step by step instructions how to record the corporate tax due?
2) When I pay the corporation tax for 2021-2022 that I will be transferring to HMRC this month, how do I record / code the payment in QB?
3) Finally, is the corporate tax 2021-2022 classed as an expense effecting my profits for this financial year? Eg. If I have made £10k profit for 2022-2023 so far when I pay the corporation tax relating to 2021-2022 (£3k) will my profits for 2022-2023 be £7k (£10K profit minus £3k corporate tax 2021-2022)?  I wasn’t sure if corporation tax was an expense and reduced my profits for this year?
Really appreciate any help with this. 
Thanks 
Amanda

Recording corporate tax liability and payments

Hi Amanda, thanks for your post. We don't currently support corporation tax in QuickBooks - we'd therefore recommend reaching out to your bookkeeper or accountant for assistance in entering this, to ensure that the tax and payments are accurately recorded. Alternatively, we welcome input from users below who have experience in this area. :)
