Alienation of income and taxable wages
Source: The Tax Specialist Journal Article
Published Date: 1 Aug 2018
Payroll tax is a state or territory tax. However, notwithstanding harmonisation, each jurisdiction does not operate from a common Act. States and territories typically tax wages, as defined in each jurisdiction. The definition of wages is defined broadly, including wages, remuneration, salary, commission, bonuses or allowances paid to an employee. This article examines common arrangements that are used for income tax purposes and questions if they are effective for payroll tax purposes. The article also looks at the ordinary meaning of wages for payroll tax purposes; what deeming provisions may apply to tax wages that may not otherwise be captured under the ordinary meaning of wages; and the treatment that may be afforded to payments in relation to directors, payments for image rights and distributions of profits in trusts, partnerships and incorporated entities.
