    Hello Accounts12341 

     

    Based on what I can see on the WA Government site, only additional Super and unpaid SG amounts are explicitly stated as being included in Payroll Tax. As such, that does lead me to believe the base SG is not required to be included. However, as I am not an expert in state-specific requirements this is definitely something I would double check with the ATO or a WA accounting entity. Additionally, perhaps another user on the forum with experience in WA payroll tax will be able to chime in with specific advice.
