To record the payment of sales tax payable, the correct journal entry would involve reducing the liability account for the sales tax that was previously collected and reported.

The appropriate entry would be:

A. a debit to Sales Tax Payable

So the journal entry would be:

  • Debit: Sales Tax Payable
  • Credit: Cash (or Bank)

This reflects the payment of the sales tax liability. Therefore, the answer is:

A. a debit to Sales Tax Payable.
