Payroll Tax

329 The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) ().22 February 2024). Can the Treasurer advise:

1. Has the Treasurer received any advice or modelling regarding extra revenue the new treatment of payroll tax on contractor general practitioners will generate for the state government?

2. If advice or modelling regarding the new treatment of payroll tax on contractor GPs was received, how much revenue is expected to be generated for the state government?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): The Treasurer has advised

I have not received any advice or modelling regarding extra revenue of payroll tax on contracted general practitioners will generate for the state government.

The current payroll tax legislation has been in place for over 15 years and there is no new treatment of payroll tax on contractors, including to general practitioners.
