I employ in Queensland and expect A$2,347,800 in wages. What payroll tax will I pay?
The answer
A$49,771
for the year
That is 4.75% on wages above the threshold, plus any applicable levy or surcharge.
How it was computed
| Taxable wages | A$2,347,800 |
|---|---|
| Deduction applied | A$1,300,000 |
| Wages above deduction | A$1,047,800 |
| Rate | 4.75% |
| Tax payable | A$49,771 |
Assumes all wages are taxable, paid in this state, and the employer is not grouped or regional.
