Payroll Tax & general practitioners

The State Revenue Authorities across Australia have released a ruling in August 2023 on how state-based payroll tax applies to medical centres (and other allied health centres). Read more here

This ruling explains the application of Payroll Tax (via the contractor provisions) on an entity operating a medical centre business that contracts with medical and health practitioners (or the entities of such practitioners) to provide services to patients.

Victorian Government Announcement

The Victorian Government announced that all Victorian general practice businesses will receive an exemption from any outstanding or future assessment issued for payroll tax on payments to contractor GPs for the period up to 30 June 2024.

It also announced that a further 12-month exemption from payroll tax for payments to contractor GPs, through to 30 June 2025, will be available for any general practice business that has not already received advice and begun paying payroll tax on payments to their contractor GPs on this basis.

If your Medical Practice is not across these developments we encourage you to contact us for a chat so that we can determine how they impact your practice.

The recent Payroll Tax activity focused on Medical Practices and their engagement of Practitioners as well as the ATO’s recent indepenent contractor rulings is resulting in the greatest disruption and re-organisation of the general practice sector in history

Its also been announced that the Victorian Government will provide an exemption from payroll tax for payments to contractor GPs and to employee GPs for providing bulk-billed consultations from 1 July 2025.  These changes will support GPs and the important work they do looking after Victorians, however it is important that Medical Centres and GP’s are aware of these upcoming developments to ensure they receive the exemption.

Other states

• SA have announced a similar ongoing exemption for GP’s providing bulk-billed consultations
• NSW have paused audit activity for Medical practices until August 2024
• QLD amnesty closed November 2023
