Sales taxed amount in Accounts Receivable?
When I enter a new invoice for a client, for example 62.50 (00 + MA sales tax) do BOTH Accounts Receivable AND Sales Tax Payable go up by the following?
Accounts Receivable +1062.50
Sales Tax Payable +62.50
This just makes me feel like I am counting the 62.50 twice, which feels wrong.
Or is it like this?
Accounts Receivable +1000.00
Sales Tax Payable +62.50

A receivable is a positive entry, an asset.
The tax due is a negative, an amount you owe.
The two add to 00 if you add them up.
