    Accounting entry for Employee Tax withholdings:
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    Debit : Salary Expenses (for the total salary amount)
    Credit : Tax Payable (Amount deducted from employee)
    Credit : Bank Account (Net amount transferred to his bank account)

    Accounting entry for Employer Tax Expenses:
    ----------------------------------------------------
    Debit : Tax Expenses
    Credit : Tax Payable

    When the Tax is paid quartely:
    ------------------------------------
    Debit : Tax Payable (for the total quartely share of employee + employer)
    Credit : Bank

    Hope it is clear now
