UK payroll entries

UK payroll entries

Hey guys,

Nett payroll payments are imported direct into the bank, using an external payroll system (will be glad for Zoho to have a UK payroll app)

At present I have monthly recurring bills for HMRC which are auto entered & paid when due.
This seems to not be the right thing to do as the balance sheet is incorrect regarding this liability.

I'm wondering what is the best way to set up recording current payroll tax liabilities & payments to the blood suckers @ HMRC.

Thinking of using the recurring journal entries now that it's available, is this a sensible solution & would I have the journal entries correct, if they are entered auto monthly I could adjust to the correct figures?
Or maybe it's best to just create 1 journal & then clone that when it's due, but then this can lead to late payments if it's forgotten ?
