GST and BAS

Thanks for posting in the Community, Von-1.

The PAYG Payable and PAYG Withholdings Payable are default accounts when the payroll feature is enabled, and you've set up your GST settings in QuickBooks Online.

Let's check also your default payroll chart of accounts to see if they are mapped to the correct account. Here's how:

1. Click on the Payroll tab.
2. Click on the Payroll Settings.
3. Click on Chat of Accounts.
4. Click on Default accounts.
5. Check if your accounts is mapped correctly.

If you are seeing an incorrect figure in your payroll journals, let's check on the account and tax code used on them. Here's how:

1. Click on the Transactions tab in QBO.
2. Click on the Chart of Accounts and locate the Payroll Clearing or Wage expense account where your payroll journals are imported.
3. Locate one of the payroll journals affected.
4. Let's make sure that the PAYGW Withholding Payable is used.

Make corrections on the payroll journal to correct the posting of the accounts.
