PAYG on Allowance ?

Travel Between Company Facilities:

 

EBA clause:

 

Employees may at direction to travel in their own vehicle to an alternative depot to commence work, the employee will be entitled to a travel allowance of $60.00 per shift work.

 

PAYG withhold will apply?

Added to the payment summary as gross salary?

  • Hi spaul 

     

    Thanks for your post. You'll need to check with the ATO on whether PAYG applies to this allowance.

     

    In regard to reporting the allowance to the ATO, this needs to be reported as an Allowance in STP. To do this you need to select the applicable Allowance ATO reporting category: Assign ATO reporting categories

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.

    Hi spaul 

     

    I believe this is simply categorised as an ALlowance - declared in STP as an allowance and not subject to PAYG and NOT part of Gross Salary.
