Therefore, where PAYE amounts were set up against non-lapsing authorities, they may be treated in either of the following methods, at the department’s option: - payments may be charged to the PAYE liability account established; or - the liabilities set up may be reversed against the subsequent year’s appropriation and any payments charged to the appropriation. 2, record 5, English, - PAYE%20liability%20account
