Payroll Tax Rebates

Helping make Traineeships economical

The Basics of Payroll Tax Rebates (PTR)
How your State or Territory is helping you

  • PTR only applies to new trainees per the Apprenticeship & Traineeship Act 2001

  • The rebate is a payroll tax offset based on the wages you've paid to your trainees

  • Trainees must be employed less than 3 mos FT or 12 mos casual/PT at sign-up

  • Payroll 鈥渢hresholds鈥� vary by state that will impact eligibility and amounts payable 

 

Payroll Tax Rebates in Practice
A quick example of how the rebate works

Using NSW as the state of employment as an example (not all States offer the PTR).

First, your New Entrant Trainee must have been employed for three months or less to be eligible.

Second, your total payroll must meet the "threshold" requirements shown in the links below.

If both factors are met, then using an annual salary of $50,000 (just as an example), you will be able to claim for a PTR on that amount.

With a PRT rebate of 5.45%, a trainee that is in a one year Traineeship will return a $2725 rebate. 

If the Traineeship is a 2 year course, the total PRT rebate would be $5450 by the end of the second year.

If you continue your staff鈥檚 Traineeship with a second (additional) qualification upon completion, the PRT rebate continues on while they remain in an eligible traineeship.

Please remember different states/territories have different rules and rates as you will see in the accordian box below.

Please take a few moments to see if your payroll threshold qualifies and how you can benefit from these government rebates using the links and information below.

Contact your Accountant or the relevant government body in your state to determine whether you will attract an exemption or rebate, and at what rate and for what period of time.
