I presume you mean sales tax? Withholding is a trust fund in it is the governments money you collect on behalf of them...or I guess if you have been told to do some type of backup withholding the same thing...not really yours as an asset, to pay a liability that also isn't yours. But more importantly: I am not at all sure how or why you would withhold tax from a vendor anyway. A vendor bills you, and includes the tax YOU must pay (as sales tax).

In other words it is their Inventory, When the merchandise is recieved, at the moment of receipt if the amount isn't paid and is put on account (owed) then journal entry is adebit to Inventorycredit to Account Payable.Since this is a debt it is recorded as a liability, once it is paid however, the transaction goes as followsdebit to Account Payablecredit to CashThe inventory itself remains an asset until it is sold, then the asset decreases and then and only then is the cost initially paid recorded as an expense.

Can an insurance company dictate who does the repair work in your condo?

It depends. If, for example, extensive damage occurs because of a covered natural disaster -- an earthquake -- and the board and the insurance company agree that the insurance company's vendor will complete the repair work inside units on assets covered by the master policy, then the insurance company's vendor may complete the work. If, however, you prefer a different vendor, it's possible that you could negotiate with the board and pay the difference between what the insurance company's vendor would charge and what your vendor would charge to repair assets inside your unit that you want your own vendor to repair.
