Changes to payroll tax

Payroll tax has been cut in the latest Northern Territory Budget. Treasurer Delia Lawrie says lowering the rate from 5.9 per cent to 5.5 will save Territory business A$6.6 million a year.

The tax-free threshold was also put up from A$1.25 million to A$1.5 million and the tax threshold altered to an annual deduction reducing by $1 for every $4 in wages paid over the limit.

Also in the new Budget, stamp duty for property transfers over A$3 million has been increased from 4.95 per cent to 5.45 per cent.

Meanwhile it has been announced also that A$9.8 million is to be set aside for the expansion of the Darwin Business Park.
