How to tag the HMRC payment to our Journal

[JessicaFerguson]

Hi, I have recently started using Journals for our Payroll. I have created the journal for M10 of 24-25, tagged all of the Net pay bank entries to the ‘Salary, dividends or other drawings’ option, I can now see that the 2210 PAYE liability and 2224 Total Pension Contributions are correct. My question is: how do I tag my HMRC and Pension payments from my bank, to this journal?

Hello @JessicaFerguson

You may find the below thread helpful.

PAYE tagging

We are paying PAYE through direct debit, is there any way tagging this bank transaction to certain period? Thanks in advance

Thank you for your reply. This answers how to allocate the HMRC payment, how do I tag the payments to our pension provider please?

Hello @JessicaFerguson

Sorry I missed the other link off

Pensions provider category

I use the BrightPay/QuickFile journal facility so employee Pensions deductions are recorded but I cannot see how I should record the actual payment to the Pensions Provider i.e. which Nominal account number should I use when I set up the Provider as a supplier. Thanks in advance.

“Something not on the list”, then choose the 2224 nominal that you used in your journals to record the total contributions due (employer plus employee). This is essentially exactly what “tax payment to HMRC” does for 2210.
