Payroll tax continues to be one of the most significant cost pressures facing many dental practices across NSW.

Many practices have been navigating the ongoing implications of recent reforms to the tax, particularly where contractor arrangements and practice structures are involved. Revenue NSW has also recently introduced a number of administrative changes, including updated online reporting and grouping processes.

ADA NSW recognises that payroll tax remains a major issue for many members, with increasing staffing costs, workforce shortages and broader business pressures continuing to affect practice viability.

We know that the impact varies considerably depending on the size and structure of individual practices, and we are keen to better understand the practical challenges members are facing. Your experiences will help inform our advocacy with government and other stakeholders as discussions on business taxation and healthcare sustainability continue.

If payroll tax has affected your practice, whether through increased costs, compliance requirements, business planning or recruitment decisions, we encourage you to let us know. We are particularly interested in hearing about real-world examples that illustrate the impact on dental practices and patient access to care.

Member feedback is invaluable in ensuring ADA NSW can advocate effectively on behalf of the profession and present evidence-based representations to government.
