(1) In order to accurately cost a proposed policy it would be necessary to have access to the entire proposal. Further information about payroll tax and the cost of payroll tax concessions is available in Appendix 6 of Budget Paper No. 3 Economic and Fiscal Outlook and the Overview of State Taxes 2007-08 publication.
(2) The amounts below are based on 2006-07 payroll tax returns.
(a) $1,497 million.
(b) $1,419 million.
(c) $1,275 million.
(3) This would require a manual inspection of over 11,700 payroll tax registrations and extraction of data for relevant employers. Given the significant resources required and the benefits to be achieved, I do not believe answering this question to be in the public interest.
