What is Payroll Tax (Australia)?

A state and territory tax levied on employers in Australia when their total wages bill exceeds a threshold amount, with rates and thresholds varying across each of the eight Australian states and territories.

Why it matters in hiring

Payroll Tax (Australia) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
