As of 1st July I’ve moved one of my companies to Manager. I would like to know what journal entries or configuration I should enter in consideration of an existing BAS liability which was incurred as at the last tax quarter but is payable in this new quarter. Is there a way to enter an opening balance in the “Tax Liailibities” account or similar? I’m not sure how this ties in with the account that GST is reported into. ---

You should set start date under `Settings` to July 1st, 2015 then set up opening balances for all your accounts. Opening balance for tax liabilities is set the same way as for any other general ledger account. See: [Manager Cloud](http://guides.manager.io/businesses/settings/start-date) ---

I can’t see a Tax Liabilities account in there. Do I create it? If so, what under? ---

It’s called ‘Tax payable’. I did not have to manually create this. It was just there in the Chart of Accounts (presumably because I have set up GST tax codes in settings). ---

Does this account include any PAYG Liabilities which form part of the BAS? ---

@mattyh, how do you record PAYG liabilities from now on? Using third-party payroll program and making journal entries in Manager or are you managing payroll from Manager using `Payslips` tab? ---

I have copied all the records from the Payroll Software into Manager’s Payslips feature ---

I have actually now set up two accounts “PAYG” and “Super” but I wonder what account GST goes into. ---

There is a control account called `Tax payable` which you can rename to `GST payable`. ---
