Paye

PAYE is applied to sick pay, maternity pay, directors' fees and pensions (but not the state pension, although it remains taxable), as well as wages and salaries. Each person has a tax code which is used to reflect any allowances,[3] along with other taxable income (including the state pension). This means that the PAYE system typically results in the correct amount of tax being paid on all the taxable income of a taxpayer, making a tax return unnecessary. However, if the taxpayer's affairs are complicated, a tax return may be required to determine the amount of tax payable or refundable.[4]

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) administers a pay-as-you-go tax (PAYG) withholding system. Introduced in 1999, it merged 11 previous payment and reporting systems, one of which was a "PAYE" system for employee income, from which the name "PAYG" distinguishes.[8] Employers must calculate the amount of income tax to withhold based on ATO tables, based on employee declarations. These arrangements cover payments from employment as well as under the Prescribed Payments system and the Reportable Payments system. The PAYG system involves regular payments made by employers and other payers, for example, superannuation funds. It is used to collect by instalments income tax, HELP repayments, Medicare and other payments. PAYG amounts to be withheld are determined based on the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) PAYG schedules.[9] Discrepancies and deduction amounts are declared in the annual income tax return and will be part of the refund that follows after annual assessment or reduce the tax debt that may be payable after assessment.

The payer must send to the ATO a copy of the PAYG payment summaries as well as an annual PAYG summary. This may be sent to the ATO electronically using Standard Business Reporting enabled software,[11] or it may be sent as a hard copy by mail. The total of the wages paid reported on the PAYG summary and the total amount withheld must agree with the totals as reported by the payer to the ATO on the Business Activity Statements (BASs) for the year. The ATO will use the information on the PAYG payment summary to match with the employee, using the employee's TFN.

Users of the Non-Logged-In service will be required to print, sign and submit the Declaration Form to any Board of Inland Revenue office. The return will be considered filed ONLY when the taxpayer drops off the signed Declaration Form. Failure to drop off the Declaration Form before the due date may result in penalties being assessed to the employer.

Note: if your personal allowances are reduced to nil you will be given a code 0T. Basic rate tax (20% in 2023/24) will be deducted from your pay up to a certain level, over which the higher or additional rates of tax will be deducted (40% and 45% respectively in 2023/24); Note if you are a Scottish taxpayer the tax rates and bands that apply to you are different, as are the tax codes.

This leaves you with a tax-free amount which, if positive, has the final digit dropped off. A letter is added at the end to give you your tax code. For example, for an English taxpayer, a tax-free amount of 4,921 becomes tax code 492L.

If the result is negative, you have a minus tax-free amount. The number has the final digit dropped off, a figure of one is taken away and the letter K is put before the result to give you your tax code. For example, again for an English taxpayer, a minus tax-free amount of 2,970 becomes tax code K296.
