Frequently asked questions
What does a payroll tax annual reconciliation compare?
It compares the annual liability calculated from final taxable wages with periodic payroll tax already paid and any entered credits or adjustments.
Why do I need Australian wages as well as state wages?
The annual threshold deduction can be reduced when an employer or group pays interstate wages, so the state share alone may not determine the liability.
Can I lodge the annual return from this calculator?
No. Lodge through the relevant state or territory revenue office and use its return instructions for grouping, exemptions, interstate wages and due dates.
