Overview
Payroll tax is a state tax. Assessment comes from the wages paid or payable to employees, including directors and contractors, by an employer (or group of employers) whose total Australian taxable wages exceed the threshold amount. Each state and territory have its own payroll tax legislation, with different rates and thresholds.
The Payroll Tax Reporting feature allows you to create a report on your organisation's payroll tax based on a specific reporting period or month and also narrowed down by earnings location and/or employing entity. You can also use this feature to download an excel file of this data or save the information in a printable PDF format.
Important
The Payroll platform breaks the figures in the report down on a per state basis so you can easily identify and report each component to the relevant Office of State Revenue (OSR). If the report includes a column with the header Unknown, this shows you have not assigned a State and/or Territory to a location. As a result, the platform will allocate the wages and/or super costed to that location into the Unknown column.

Author recommended
So you have now run a payroll tax report and you are now wondering what next can I do. There are two recommendations I would make on this front and they are:
- Payroll Platform: PAYG Withholding Report This feature allows you to create a report on the PAYG withholding amounts made by your organisation within a certain date range.
- Payroll Platform: Pay Run Audit Reporting This feature allows you to create a report on a pay run conducted within your organisation and see details such as the deductions made, the PAYG adjustments and the leave accrued.
