BAS payments are definitlely not an expense

If you look at your balance sheet you will see 2 accounts

Asset : Tax Paid on purchases
Liability : Tax Collected from sales

These should net to your BAS payment and the payments coded here

If you have deducted tax from employees and paid this appropriate account is
Liability: PAYG Installments Payable

Treatment of income tax payments accountants would depend on whether your accountant has processed the end of year adjusting entries but should be an expense in year tax arose
