Businesses with Taxable Payrolls

In reply to the Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (25 November 2020). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): I have been advised the following:

The requirement to register and the rate of payroll tax is calculated using total Australian grouped wages, with South Australian payroll tax paid on the South Australian wages. There are currently 12,790 taxpayers liable for payroll tax in South Australia, due to their total Australian grouped payrolls being above $1.5 million. Of these, the total Australian grouped wages 7,724 taxpayers exceed $4 million.
