Understanding PAYG Withholding
PAYG Withholding is a crucial part of the Australian tax system. It ensures that income tax is paid gradually throughout the year, rather than as a single large bill after you lodge your tax return.
For Employees
It makes managing tax obligations easier and helps you avoid a surprise tax debt at the end of the year.
For Employers
It is a legal obligation to withhold tax from your employees' pay and report it to the ATO, typically through Single Touch Payroll (STP).
