The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Premier Payroll Tax The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised: The Department of Treasury and Finance does not estimate the number of employers by the taxable payroll ranges in preparing its estimate of payroll tax revenue. Information in the requested format only becomes available following the completion of the relevant financial year, once employers have completed their annual payroll tax reconciliations. As part of the Liberal government's election commitment to exempt businesses with taxable wages below $1.5 million from payroll tax, modelling was undertaken on the estimated number of businesses by taxable payroll range to estimate the cost of the measure. The table below provides the estimated number of employers by annual payroll in 2018-19 used as part of this modelling process. Annual payroll Employers(a)(approx.) 600,000 to 1,000,000 1,900 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 1,300 1,500,000 to 1,700,000 400 1,700,000 plus 5,600 Total 9,200 (a)	Estimated number of grouped employers with taxable annual national wages within the relevant ranges, liable for payroll tax in South Australia.
