Navigate high-risk compliance areas, from multi-state taxation and remote workforces to intricate compensation structures, to mitigate audit risks and prevent costly penalties.
Payroll tax has become one of the highest-risk state tax exposures for complex Australian businesses. Contractor arrangements, labour hire models, trust structures, grouped entities, and multi-state operations are now under increasing scrutiny from revenue authorities, with audit activity intensifying across sectors including medical, technology, construction, and professional services.
This course gives practitioners a practical framework for identifying and managing payroll tax exposure across complex business structures. The session examines grouping rules, contractor provisions, employment agency arrangements, multi-state payroll tax obligations, and the major cases reshaping payroll tax risk — including the landmark Uber litigation currently headed to the High Court.
