You will need to register for payroll tax if you are an employer, your Australian wide taxable wages exceed the South Australian threshold, and you pay wages in South Australia. South Australia has a sliding threshold for its payroll tax rate for the 2022-23 financial year:
- From $1.5 million to $1.7 million the rate is variable from 0% to 4.95%
- From $1.7 million onwards the rate is 4.95%.
Payroll tax is a state tax that is calculated on wages paid to employees.
