Whether you need to pay payroll tax for your renovation business depends on your state or territory and the total wages you pay your employees. Each jurisdiction has a payroll tax threshold. If your business pays employees below this payroll tax threshold, you generally won’t be liable for payroll tax. However, it’s crucial to check the specific threshold for your location with the relevant state revenue office.

Contracted renovators, also known as independent contractors, typically don’t pay GST on the service they provide. This is because they’re considered to be running their own business, and GST applies to business sales exceeding $75,000 annually (as of April 2024). However, you, as the business owner hiring them, might need to account for GST depending on the total contract value and your own GST registration status.

Running your own payroll can be an option for small renovation businesses with just a few employees, a simple pay structure (fixed salaries), and a strong understanding of Australian tax regulations. However, this approach can be time-consuming, prone to errors, and requires staying updated on changing regulations.

Renovators can leverage construction-focused payroll software to simplify processes. Timesheet integration accurately records regular pay, overtime, and weekend/holiday rates. The software automates complex tax and superannuation calculations, giving you peace of mind regarding compliance. Some options even offer project costing features, helping to analyse profitability.

Overall, payroll software streamlines reporting (taxes, super, payslips) and record-keeping, freeing you from paperwork burdens. Additionally, employee-facing apps (available with Payroller) promote transparency by allowing staff to access payslips and update information electronically.

Payroller is an STP-enabled software that automatically submits payroll information to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) – through a secure cloud network – whenever you perform a payrun. Payroller helps you to track, manage and record your payroll while safely sharing that information (and staying compliant) with the ATO.

As a truly one-stop payroll solution, you can manage staff roster, invite your accountant, bookkeeper or BAS agent and even make Super contribution (Beam) on Payroller.
