Help reduce the tax on jobs

The WA economy urgently needs more jobs and the State Government's job tax is stopping our small businesses from creating them.

WA has the highest payroll tax burden of any state, which means it is more expensive to create a job here than anywhere else in the country.

Our 
Pre-Budget Submission called for an increase to the payroll tax threshold by $100,000 to $950,000 to create almost 900 jobs in the first year alone and boost the State’s economy by $283m.

Payroll tax is a critical lever to boost jobs creation because it supports all industries across the economy from retail to construction to manufacturing.  

We are calling for the tax on jobs to be reduced by the State Government as a priority.
