Amounts withheld from employee's earnings for the employee income tax is considered a liability by the employer until the government is paid
What is liability?
Liability means the obligation that one party owes another, whose settlement requires the indebted party to transfer cash or equivalent value of other benefits commensurate to the liability to the other party.
In this case, the employees owe the government income taxes, whereby the employees have discharged the obligation by having the employers deduct them from their earnings.
The onus is now on the employers to make payments in respect of the income taxes withheld to the tax authority, prior to which the taxes are treated as the employer's liability.
