This is correct. Payroll taxes are considered an expense for the employer and are typically recorded as a debit to an expense account (such as "Payroll Taxes Expense") and a credit to one or more liability accounts (such as "Federal Income Tax Payable" or "FICA Taxes Payable"). This reflects the employer's obligation to remit these taxes to the appropriate government agencies on behalf of their employees.
