Jobs Action Plan (Payroll Tax Rebate Scheme)

One of the key priorities of the NSW Government is the Jobs Action Plan. This plan targets the creation of 100,000 new jobs in NSW from July 2011 and gives businesses the incentive to employ new workers and expand their enterprises.

40,000 of the new jobs will be prioritised for non-metropolitan areas of NSW with the remaining 60,000 in metropolitan areas.

Businesses that increase their employment levels will receive a payroll tax rebate following the employment of each additional employee in a position that is a new job.

To be eligible for the rebate scheme, you must be registered as an employer and paying payroll tax under the Payroll Tax Act 2007.

The Jobs Action Plan is administered by the Office of State Revenue. For more information visit www.osr.nsw.gov.au/taxes/payroll/job_scheme.
