Learn how to manage payroll and payroll taxes for your employees as a real estate agent with our overview. Here are the steps you need to take:
Check your local payroll tax obligations
An employer who pays wages or salaries above a certain threshold is subject to payroll tax. Check with your relevant state or territory revenue and tax laws if you are not sure what your threshold is. Read up on what are payroll taxes in our overview for Australian businesses.
Register for payroll taxes
Before registering with your state revenue office for payroll tax, you must understand your payroll tax obligations. You can do this online. Make sure you prepare information about your business such as your Australian Business Number (ABN) and payroll information.
Calculate payroll taxes
You need to determine your taxable wages in order to calculate payroll taxes for your business. To make this calculation, you should consider all wages, bonuses, commissions, allowances, and other payments you make to your employees. You can calculate your payroll tax liability with the help of your state revenue office.
Keep accurate payroll records
Payroll and payroll tax payments should be kept accurately. Tax receipts, payment summaries, and payslips are part of this. Using STP software like Payroller means your payroll records are available in one place when it comes to payroll tax payments.
