Hi Lee
When you create the custom liability payment, this creates a special “Liability Cheque” which picks up Payroll Liability Items (as opposed to Items from your Item List)
In the same way as a normal “Write Chq” though, it also has the “Expenses” tab & it is here that you can add the SG Charge.
As the SG Charge is not deductible against business income (because it’s a fine), create an Other Current Asset account for this & post the amount there:
If you do BASs/IASs that contain PAYGW, you should also be entering these payments the same – via a “Liability Chq”.
This feature allows you to pay (“clear”) the accumulated Payroll Item liabilities AND also account for other liability (GST/PAYGI/FBT/FTC) &/or expense (GIC, Penalty etc) payments all on one transaction to match your actual BAS payment total to the ATO.
