Small Business

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (15:20): My question is to the Minister for Small Business. Will the government cut payroll tax for small businesses? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TELFER: According to the latest South Australian Business Chamber Survey of Business Expectations report, one respondent in the transport, warehousing and logistics industry employing 20 to 49 employees said and I quote:

Payroll tax and Return to Work is a nightmare, over $220k for a 5.5m business, it's not sustainable.

The Hon. A. MICHAELS (Enfield—Minister for Small and Family Business, Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs, Minister for Arts) (15:21): I certainly, and this side of the house supported the former government's increase in the payroll tax threshold which, quite frankly, actually carves out most small businesses from payroll tax. Yes, small businesses throughout South Australia are largely not paying payroll tax and I commend the former government for those changes.
