Extension of QRO general practice payroll tax amnesty deadline
The Treasurer has also advised that the QRO will be issuing an updated public ruling next week which will provide a solution to the current payroll tax crisis facing general practice.
Treasurer Cameron Dick has announced an extension to the expressions of interest deadline for the Queensland Revenue Office (QRO) GP payroll tax amnesty.
The new EOI deadline is 10 November 2023.
The Treasurer has also advised that the QRO will be issuing an updated public ruling next week which will provide a solution to the current payroll tax crisis facing general practice.
“This is a sensible decision that recognises most GPs work independently and should not be subject to payroll tax,” AMA Queensland President Dr Maria Boulton said.
“We look forward to seeing the Public Ruling as the devil is in the detail.
“We have been advocating for general practices to be exempt from this new patient tax, in the same way that all public and some private hospitals are exempt from payroll tax.
“This new Public Ruling, combined with the amnesty until June 2025 and new EOI deadline, will give practices time to ensure they comply with the new interpretation of the payroll tax law.
AMA Queensland urges all eligible practices to obtain relevant professional advice about whether to register in time to meet the new 10 November EOI deadline.
‘If you haven’t already got advice, please go speak to your accountants and lawyers, especially about the new public ruling once released,’ said AMA Queensland President Dr Maria Boulton.
