    This should be definitely guided by your tax agent, no doubt , some one will attempt to answer this for you in this forum  There is a prior income tax expense provision is created by your tax agent, which he should have given to you after he finalised your  company tax return.

    Unfortunately my experience is that accountants in my area seem to have limited knowledge with reckon accounts regarding entering transactions such as this. 

    There should be a standard procedure to enter a company Tax Debt and their payments in to Reckon Accounts. However research on this topic also appears to be limited.

    I was hoping someone could explain how they apply these entries.

    I have it as a transfer from 
    Tax Office Liability:Provision for Income Tax
    to
    Income Tax Expense

    Thanks for your input AF, not sure exactly what account type your "Income Tax Expense" is. I assume it is not actually an expense account as a tax payment is not a claimable expense, and the entries should not effect the P&F. I will post what I done and I think this has the desired effect.

    Here is the solution I currently have in place,
    1. I created a new "Other Current Liability" account called "Income Tax"
    2. I created a "General Journal Entry" to Credit the "Income Tax" account and Debit "Capital Profits Reserve" Equity Account. The amount was for the Tax Payable amount.
    3. I create an entry in the "Write Cheques" for the amount of the payment's to the "Income Tax" account. This will apply the payment to the debt.
    This did not affect the P&F and the profits are accrued in the equity account.

    Entries can also be applied to this account for any fees or interest which are a claimable expense.

    No doubt there are many ways to do this and I would like to continue see how others accomplish this, and or their feedback.
