30% tax? (1 Viewer)

Worked at McDonalds for 4 weeks then quit, but the tax labelled "PAYG- pay as you go" was close to 30% on the pay slip

this goes for all employees with a tax file here?

I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific if you want us to help you. e.g. how often did you get paid, how much you were paid per week.

I had something similar on my first job. From memory it was something I ticked on my Tax form when i started the job. Basically it resulted in more money being withheld.

It works out in the end though as I got all the excess back when I did my tax return. Nice big refund

You could always talk to the HR person there. Once tax time comes around they should send you a 'group certificate' and you go from there. Chase it up if they don't.

Did you say you want to claim the tax free threshold?

all u need is a group certificate which tells u how much tax u paid in that fiscal year as well as your total taxable income. dont need to keep 52 payslips to do ur tax return. if u dont work for them anymore u should have got ur group certificate when u resigned, if not then they should still mail it out to you.

Its not a flat rate of 30%..

Varries depending on how much you earn per anum...

I'm pretty sure they don't send group certificates until the new financial year
