Paying your employees > Payroll liabilities
A payroll liability is an amount withheld from an employee’s pay that must be paid to an appropriate authority or agency, for example, deductions, expenses, superannuation payments and taxes.
Your payroll liabilities are recorded when you process your payroll. When you need to pay these amounts, you can use the Pay Liabilities window.
If you use BASlink to record your PAYG withholding payments, press F1 in the BAS Information window for information on how to set up BASlink for PAYG withholding.
If you pay your employee’s superannuation using M-Powered Superannuation or MYOB's super portal, you do not need to pay your superannuation liabilities through the Pay Liabilities window.
