payroll liability is an amount withheld from an employee’s pay that must be paid to an appropriate authority or agency, for example, deductions, expenses, superannuation payments and taxes.

Your payroll liabilities are recorded when you process your payroll. When you need to pay these amounts, you can use the Pay Liabilities window.

If you use:

  • Pay Super to make your super payments, you need to use the Pay Superannuation window to make super payments and the Pay Liabilities window to record other payroll liabilities. 
  • BASlink to record PAYG withholdings, you may not need to use the Pay Liabilities window - see Pay Liabilities and BASlink.

Watch this video to see how you can use the Pay Liabilities window to record your PAYG payments to the ATO.
