Hi is there a way for the profit and loss report to not reflect unpaid liabilites (i.e. payg and super)

    Unpaid liabilities are reflected on the Balance Sheet. PAYG should not be an expense account but Superannuation is

    Gross wages include the PAYG component & this full amount - along with the Superannuation - is an expense to the employer. These show on the Profit & Loss.

    In addition, PAYG & Super are also liabilities (because they need to be on-paid) & so these components will also show on the Balance Sheet ☺️

    Thanks for your help, we need to run a report that excludes any unpaid liabilities.

    Any ideas how to do this?

    Thanks!

    The Gross Wages & Super are still expenses (incurred at the time payroll is processed, regardless of whether the liabilities have been paid or not)

    The Profit & Loss is the correct report that you want 😁
