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. The threshold is $1.5 million per annum which is equivalent to $28,246 per week or $125,000 per month. South Australia has a sliding threshold for its payroll tax rate:
- From $1.5 million to $1.7 million - the rate is variable from 0% to 4.95%
- Exceeding $1.7 million - the rate is 4.95%.
