Suggestion: Withholding Tax (WHT) Option in Payment Transactions

We are using Manager.io for handling vendor payments, and in our jurisdiction, withholding tax (WHT) is required to be deducted at the time of making payment, not at the time of entering a purchase invoice.

Currently, we work around this by manually adding another line in the payment to record the WHT as a negative amount against a “Withholding Tax Payable” account. While this works, it’s prone to user error and lacks consistency.

Would it be possible to introduce a built-in WHT field or option in the “Payment” screen, similar to how WHT works in the Sales Invoice module? This would help properly reflect tax deducted at source (TDS) without needing manual entries.

Has anyone found a more elegant way to handle this in the meantime? Any thoughts or workarounds are welcome.
