How do I track taxes collected for an authority?

Published October 1, 2026 · 1 minute read

The answer

Separate amounts collected, remitted by a platform, remitted by you, and still owed, using the accounting process appropriate to your obligations. Reconcile reservations and authority records. Collected tax should not be assumed to be spendable operating income.

Registration and filing questions are distinct from the software's collection feature. Confirm location-specific requirements through official guidance and qualified advice.
