Taxation
Tax is deducted automatically through the department's payroll systems in accordance with formula supplied by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
All new employees must provide a tax file number declaration form to the department on commencement of their employment. Information you provide in this declaration will determine how much tax is withheld from payments made to you.
If you do not provide a tax file number, tax will be withheld from all payments made to you at the top rate of tax.
