By removing cost burdens, we can unlock more business investment, innovation, diversification and jobs.
Businesses in Western Australia continue to navigate through tough and unpredictable economic conditions, as soaring costs eat into profit margins.
To assist businesses through these challenges, and ensure they remain viable, we are advocating for actions that reduce the heavy cost burdens being placed on business.
WA has the worst payroll tax in the country, and this continues to hold us back. Payroll tax reform would benefit small to medium-sized businesses across multiple sectors.
What we are working for
- Reducing the payroll tax burden on businesses, by increasing the threshold and rebate framework to ensure WA remains a competitive jurisdiction for business investment.
- Minimising the overall cost of doing business burden – this means no new taxes and more efficient use of tax money raised.
