Payroll tax

Occurs when a certain event requires you to lodge a final return to change your employer status, such as the first day you, as an employer:

  • cease to employ anywhere in Australia
  • become a group member or the designated group employer
  • cease to be the designated group employer or part of a group
  • appoint an administrator (receiver and manager or liquidator), or come to the end of a period of administration.
