Other taxes
In addition to income tax, there are a number of other taxes in Australia, such as goods and services tax (GST), capital gains tax (CGT), and payroll tax.
GST
GST is a consumption tax that is applied to most goods and services sold in Australia. The standard GST rate is 10%.
CGT
CGT is a tax on the profit that you make when you sell an asset, such as a property or shares. The amount of CGT you pay depends on the type of asset you sell and how long you held it for.
Payroll tax
Payroll tax is a tax that employers pay on the wages and salaries that they pay to their employees. The payroll tax rate varies from state to state.
Additional information
Here is some additional information about the Australian tax system:
- Tax treaties: Australia has tax treaties with over 90 countries. These treaties can help to reduce the amount of tax that taxpayers have to pay.
- Transfer pricing: If a taxpayer has transactions with related parties in other countries, they may be subject to transfer pricing rules. Transfer pricing rules are designed to ensure that taxpayers do not shift profits to low-tax jurisdictions.
- Anti-avoidance rules: Australia has a number of anti-avoidance rules in place to prevent taxpayers from artificially reducing their tax liability.
