When you make your monthly or quarterly payment to HMRC, you need to show this in your accounts. This is so you can reconcile the payment in your bank. The amount you owe reduces and will show on your reports.
When you create the payment, you'll need to record it against various ledger accounts.
How you record this depends on the payroll system you use:
If you use Sage Payroll, enable integration with Accounting to post this automatically
If you use other software, you must do this manually by posting an Other Payment or a Journal

Using Sage Payroll
In Sage Accounting, you can enable Payroll integration and choose your settings.
Accounting creates a journal using the default ledger accounts in Accounting.
Or, to record the journal using your own ledger accounts, create a manual journal. You can do this if you require more detailed reporting.
