Make a Payment to Federal or Provincial Authorities

To make a payment to a government authority:

1. If you have not already added an account for this authority, in the Home window, open Vendors and add a new vendor, for example, the Receiver General.
2. In the Home window, open Purchases, Orders, and Quotes and enter the tax authority (the vendor you just added).
3. Enter the amounts you are paying and the liability account numbers.

This transaction transfers the balances from the tax liability accounts to Accounts Payable on the balance sheet, and updates the balance owing in the vendor record.

4. In the Home window, open Payments and create a cheque or record an electronic payment for the tax authority.
