Working Holiday Maker tax is greater than last week

The WHM tax is wrong when compared to last week or the WHM employee is taxed as a Non-Resident

Updated over 2 months ago

Tax for Working Holiday Makers will be calculated at 15% if the YTD gross is less than $45,000. Once the employee exceeds $45,000 in the tax year, they will be taxed at 30%.

For information on registering your employer with the ATO as a WHM Employer, refer to Employer registration for working holiday makers | Australian Taxation Office.

To mark the Payroll Company as Registered for WHM:

  1. Go to Payroll, Maintenance, General, Payroll Companies

  2. Edit the company.

  3. In ATO Details, tick Registered Employer for WHM.

  4. Click OK to save

Note: If your employer is not registered as a WHM employer, foreign resident tax rates will apply.
