In this example, we're posting a bank payment for your employees' net wages.
When you post the journal, certain nominal codes create a liability. You'll then post any bank payments to show the money paid and clear the liability. This also affects your bank balance correctly.
- Click Bank accounts then click the Payments drop-down and click Bank payment.
- Enter the relevant details on the Bank Payments window, for example:
Bank | Date | N/C | Details | Net | T/C | Tax |
Bank nominal code | Transaction date | Net wages, for example, 2220 | Wages | Net wages value | T9 | 0.00 |
Always use the non-vatable tax code, T9 by default, to post the bank payments. This ensures that they don't appear on your VAT Return. - Click Save then click Close.
When required, repeat this procedure to post bank payments for PAYE, NI, attachments, pensions, and student loans.
