This account will appear as a default entry in the Deduction Information, Employer Expense Information and Tax Table Information windows; you can override those default entries, if you wish.

MYOB AccountEdge provides a single default withholding account. Many businesses prefer to separate taxes withheld by using different liability accounts for each tax. If you want to do this, first be sure you have separate liability accounts for this purpose in your accounts list. Then enter the account you want to use in the Linked Payable Account field of the Tax Table Information window for each tax for which you want to track amounts separately.
