The GST (Goods and Services Tax) clearing account is typically on the credit side of the accounting ledger when the tax is collected from customers and debit side where it is paid to the tax authorities. When a business collects GST from customers, it is collected as a liability until it is remitted to the tax authorities. The GST clearing account is used to track this liability until the payment is made to the government. Once the GST is remitted, the balance in the clearing account decreases, and the liability is cleared.
