Warning message "You must specify a tax agency for the tax account"...how to resolve?

Hello,

I am trying to record a payment to the ATO. I have selected Pay Tax via the Supplier Centre. The ATO is set up as a tax agency, yet the warning message is still popping up when I try to record the cheque.

Can anyone advise how to overcome this?

Thankyou

Hi Kate

Which tax are you trying to enter payment for ?

If it's for GST, check in your Preferences (under the Edit dropdown menu) - under Tax - that you have Australian Taxation Office selected there as the default:

... & also that your Tax Items (access the list under your Lists dropdown menu) each have it selected too:

Hi Shaz,

I'm trying to enter a BAS that comprises of GST, FTC and a PAYG Instalment.

I'll have a look at your suggested checks now.

Thankyou

That warning shows up when the payment isn’t linked to a tax liability. Make sure the ATO is set up as a tax agency (not just a supplier) and record the payment from Taxes > Pay Tax. If it’s not tied to a BAS or GST return, just enter it as an expense/cheque to ATO.
