Best Answer

It might either be an asset or liability depending on what type of account information it holds e.g. if it holds a payable information like mortgage approved that await transfer then it is a liability, else for accounts like escrow where in payment is deposited but will be transferred to certain identified GL accounts post approvals, it is treated as a Asset.

Is gst clearing account on the debit or credit side?

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.
