Do I pay GST on wages as an employer?

Hi ggordon56,

Thanks for posting in the Community!

When categorising employee wages in the Bank transactions tab, we need to select GST as Out of scope. Here's how to match payroll payments in QuickBooks Online.

1. Go to Transactions and select Bank transactions. 
2. Select the bank account you use for paying employees, then find and select the transaction.
3. From the Category dropdown, select Payroll Clearing.
4. From the GST dropdown, select Out of scope.
5. Then, select Confirm.
