Why are the amounts withheld from employees' payroll check a liability of the employer?

Amounts withheld from employees' payroll checks are considered a liability for the employer because these funds are not the employer's property; instead, they are owed to third parties such as tax authorities, retirement plans, and other benefit providers. The employer has a legal obligation to remit these withholdings on behalf of the employees, which creates a financial responsibility. Until these amounts are paid to the respective entities, they represent a liability on the employer's balance sheet.
