    The entry should be:
    Debit Sales Taxes Payable for the amount because you are paying what is owed
    Credit Cash for the amount because you are decreasing cash account

    Your journal entry looks like you are transferring a portion of sales (Decrease sales) to sales taxes payable (Increase Sales taxes payable).
