Make payroll tax payments in QuickBooks Online Payroll

It's your responsibility to make sure that sufficient funds are available in your bank account when your payroll taxes are due. We don't set up a tax impound account on your behalf.

On the Payroll Tax Centre page, we remind you when your tax payments are due and how much you owe.

To make a tax payment:

1. Go to All apps , select Payroll, then select Payroll taxes (Take me there).
2. QuickBooks Payroll displays a table with your current unpaid tax balances. It also warns you which balances are due.
3. For the tax you want to pay, select Record tax payments.
4. Select Add payment.
5. Select Tax type, Period start, Period end and Payment date. You can indicate the Cheque number and add Memo if you like.
6. Enter an amount for each tax item in Payment Amount section. 
7. When you're ready, select Submit payment.
8. To verify your tax payment has been recorded in QuickBooks Online:
   1. Go to Reports and select Standard reports (Take me there).
   2. Enter Payroll Tax Payments in the search bar.

Depending on the size of your business and other factors, you may need to pay your payroll taxes electronically. For details, contact the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or your accountant.
