44 GST excluded from wages (1) If a person is liable to pay GST on the supply to which wages paid or payable to the person relate, the amount or value of the wages on which payroll tax is payable is the amount or value of the wages paid or payable to the person minus the relevant proportion of the amount of GST payable by the person on the supply to which the wages relate. (2) Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to the value of wages that are a fringe benefit.
consideration has the same meaning as in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cwlth). relevant proportion, in relation to GST payable on a supply to which wages relate, means the proportion that the amount or value of the wages bears to the consideration for the supply to which the wages relate.
