Nexus provisions determine in which Australian State or Territory payroll tax is to be paid.
Payment of a payroll tax return is due on or before the due date for lodgment. In most cases this will be the 7th of the following month, except the June return which is due to be lodged and paid by 21 July.
If you don't pay an amount by the due date, we may apply penalty tax.
Revenue Online (ROL) allows for payment to be made via Customer Initiated Payment Account (CIPA), BPAY and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). An Assessment Advice issued within ROL provides a record of the taxable wages declared and the tax paid for the previous period. Any under or over payment of payroll tax will appear on the Assessment Advice to enable the adjustment to be taken into account for the next period.
