Brisbane Context
Common Questions
What is the Queensland payroll tax threshold?
The Queensland payroll tax threshold for 2025–26 is $1,300,000 in annual Australian taxable wages, with a standard rate of 4.75% above the threshold. The QLD threshold is significantly higher than NSW ($1.2M) and VIC ($700K), meaning more Brisbane businesses operate below liability. We track your monthly wages against the threshold so you're never caught off guard.
Does Payday Super affect Brisbane businesses from July 2026?
Yes. From 1 July 2026, all Brisbane employers must pay super within 7 business days of each payday. A weekly-paid workforce generates up to 52 separate super payments per year instead of 4. Outsourced payroll handles Payday Super compliance automatically — we calculate, remit and confirm each payment so you face no ATO penalties.
How does offshore payroll outsourcing work for Brisbane businesses?
Your offshore payroll processor works in your existing payroll software and processes pay runs on your schedule. They calculate gross pay, deductions, PAYG withheld and super guarantee, then lodge STP Phase 2 data with the ATO. You review and approve before funds are released. Most Brisbane clients communicate via email or a quick weekly call.
What does outsourced payroll cost for a Brisbane business?
Our payroll outsourcing for Brisbane businesses starts at $200/month for small teams and scales to $600/month for larger workforces with complex pay structures. This compares to $55,000–$70,000 per year for an in-house payroll officer — a saving of 60–70%.
