Common questions from Western Australia business owners

The short answers are here. For anything else, ask below or get in touch.

Employers pay Western Australia payroll tax once annual Australian taxable wages pass $1 million ($1,000,000) a year, at 5.5%. The RevenueWA adds: A diminishing (tapering) threshold applies for annual taxable wages between $1 million and $7.5 million; higher marginal rates apply to very large payrolls (above $100 million). Verified against the RevenueWA on 2 July 2026; confirm the current amount at the source before relying on it.
