Schedule 7 – Tax table for unused leave payments on termination of employment
This document is a withholding schedule made by the Commissioner of Taxation in accordance with sections 15-25 and 15-30 of Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 (TAA). It applies to withholding payments covered by section 12-90 of Schedule 1 to the TAA.
You should use this schedule if you pay an amount to an employee for unused leave on the termination of their employment or office.
Unused leave payments on termination of employment or office include:
■ annual leave
■ holiday pay
■ leave loading
■ leave bonuses
■ long service leave.
Before calculating the amount to be withheld, you must work out if the payments are being made as a result of a genuine redundancy, invalidity or an early retirement scheme.
For more information, refer to Withholding from unused leave payments on termination of employment.
If you employ individuals under a working holiday makers visa you must use the Tax table for working holiday makers for all payments made to them, including unused leave payments on termination of employment.
When a TFN is provided
The amount to withhold is calculated using the table below.
If the post-17 August 1993 lump sum payment from normal termination is less than $300, you must withhold the lesser of the following:
■ the amount worked out using the table below
■ 32% of the payment.
