A note from the State Government:

Payroll tax customers have the option of deferring their payroll tax payments until 14 January 2022. This is an extension on the first deferral date of October 2021.

All customers are still required to lodge the 2020/21 annual reconciliation by the due date which has been extended to 14 January 2022.

In addition, customers have the option of deferring their monthly payments for the July to December 2021 return periods until 14 January 2022.

After lodging their 2021 annual reconciliation, customers will have the option of paying all their outstanding liability in full or entering a new Support Payment Arrangement.

If customers choose to enter into a 2021 Support Payment Arrangement, they will have the option to include tax payable from the 2020/21 annual reconciliation and any monthly liabilities for the July to December 2021 return periods.

More information on how to establish a 2021 Support Payment Arrangement will be provided in November 2021.

Payroll tax customers eligible for a 2021 COVID-19 Business Grant or JobSaver whose total grouped Australian wages for the 2021/22 financial year are $10 million or less, will have their annual tax liability reduced by 50 per cent. This discount has increased from 25%.
