Payroll & Payroll Tax in New South Wales

The short answer

In New South Wales, state payroll tax is administered by Revenue NSW and applies once your total Australian wages pass the New South Wales threshold. Valont runs your payroll end to end — pay runs, PAYG withholding, superannuation and Single Touch Payroll — and keeps your New South Wales payroll tax registration and lodgements correct, applying the current figures from Revenue NSW rather than a number that may have moved.
