That's a reason for using the Equity:TaxProvision account for recording the
liability rather than directly to an Expense:Tax account when you accumulate
the Liability as per the alternative approach outlined in an earlier post.
Then you can adjust it in Equity before paying the tax and transferring it
to expense.
Each Month
Dr Cr
Liability:Tax 1000
Equity:TaxProvision 1000
then adjust it when you know what the tax to pay is
Dr Cr
Liability:Tax 2000
Equity:TaxProvision 2000
Then pay the tax and transfer it from Equity to expense(this can be done in
a single 4 split transaction or two two split transactions - the 4 split
makes it clearer that these are the same financial event).
Dr Cr
Asset:Bank 10000
Liability:Tax 10000
Equity:TaxProvision 10000
Expense:Tax 10000
