October webinar: Queensland payroll tax update – next steps
Tuesday 24 October | Recording available
Watch now* *Members only
For the last two years, AMA Queensland has fought against a payroll tax decision impacting doctors and their patients that could have forced many practices to close. We have repeatedly called on the Treasurer and Queensland Revenue Office (QRO) to provide clarity and relief for medical practices from the imposition of this unfair tax.
Last month, the QRO released a new public ruling confirming that Medicare benefits and patient fees, including any out-of-pocket expenses, will not be subject to payroll tax when they are paid directly by a patient to a doctor for a medical service.
The next step for all practices is to ensure your business structure is set up in compliance with the new public ruling. We’ve invited our corporate partners Cutcher & Neale and Hillhouse Legal Partners to discuss these changes and cover:
- Updates from December 2022 to now
- How to identify key risks – structures and agreements
- Whether you should apply for the general practice payroll tax amnesty or not – discussion with case study examples
- Exemptions for non-GP Specialists for historical purposes
- Recommendations for an Action Plan to reduce your exposure
- Q&A
Speakers:
- Nicole Brown – Cutcher and Neale
- Craig Hong – Hillhouse Legal Partners
