2020 PAYG Withholding Taxtables
Presented as the “ Government’s Economic Recovery Plan”, the Federal Budget for 20/21 was passed down last week, with a goal for Australia to “rebuild our economy, create jobs and secure Australia’s future” [Aus Govt, 2020]. As part of this budget, the Federal government has passed legislation that has brought forward some of the personal income tax cuts.
Due to the new legislation, the Australia Taxation Office (ATO) will be publishing the updated 2020 Pay as you go (PAYG) withholding tax tables on October the 13th. If reading legislation is your jam, you can visit the legislation webpage.
Payroll has all the relevant tax-tables embedded in the software, as such, a new version of Payroll will be available this week with the new Taxtables.
