Yes, liabilities maintain a "credit" balance, which means they will increase with a credit and decrease with a debit. For example, if you purchase land on credit, the Note Payable is a liability and is increased with the credit. The book transaction may look something like:
Land (debit) $50,000
Note Payable - Land (credit) $50,000
Accounts payable's normal entry is credit. when it is at the debit side it could mean: reversal of accounts payable which happens at the end of accounting period, or return of merchandise purchased, or overstatement of purchased merchandise.
Normal balance of all liabilities accounts are credit side while debit balance is of all expenses and assets.
False, any "payable" regardless of the type will increase the liabilities which has a Credit Balance. Payables are what the company owes but has not yet paid and are considered a liability until they are paid thus increasing liabilities with an increase to the credit side of the balance sheet.There for Suta Tax Payable would be a liability which increase with credit and decrease with debit.
When any company purchases supplies or materials on credit from vendors then accounts payable are created and it is shown in liability side of balance sheet. If goods are not purchased on credit then no accounts payable will be created. Accounts payable are created to fulfill the matching concept of accrual accounting system.

An increase in liability will affect the credit side of the accounting equation.
Decreases to liability accounts are recorded on the credit side by crediting the account to reduce the balance. This helps to accurately reflect the decrease in the amount owed by the company.

This is simply the fundamental part of double-entry accounting.If we view the balance sheet as two sides, the left side contains all of a company's assets, while the right side contains all of the company's liabilities, as well as shareholders' equity/share capital and retained earnings.An increase to the left side is a Debit, and a decrease is a Credit.An increase to the right side is a Credit, while a decrease is a Debit.If we were to purchase a building (part of Property, Plant & Equipment) with cash, our entry would be:Debit PP&E (building)Credit CashBecause these are both asset accounts (left-side accounts), an increase to PP&E by buying the building is a Debit, and a decrease to to Cash buy using it to purchase the building is a Credit.If we were to purchase the building, but instead of paying cash we negotiated with the seller and they accepted that we will pay them at a later date, the entry would be:Debit PP&E (building)Credit Accounts payableThe Debit entry is the same, while the increase in A/P (right-side account) is a credit because it is an increase in a liability account.
