Employers, or a group of related businesses, whose total Australian wages exceed the current NSW monthly threshold, are required to pay NSW payroll tax. Broadly speaking, the tax amount is a percentage of taxable wages paid within NSW. This percentage is called the payroll tax rate.
Shareholders of more than one business need to be aware that OSR NSW launch around 500 grouping actions per annum.
A grouping action is where more than one of your businesses are 'deemed' to be effectively the same business for Payroll taxation purposes and thus 'grouped' together.

Each monthly payment or 'nil' remittance is due seven days after the end of each month or the next business day if the seventh day is a weekend (i.e., August payment is due by 7 September). The annual reconciliation and payment or 'nil' remittance is due by 21 July.
