Record payroll payments to HMRC
Description

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. This depends on the breakdown of your liability to HMRC. 

You can record payroll payments as an Other Payment or using a Journal
