Tax tables

We produce a range of tax tables to help you work out how much to withhold from payments you make to your employees or other payees. A tax withheld calculator that calculates the correct amount of tax to withhold is also available.

Tax tables with an ‘*’ have downloadable look-up tables available in Portable Document Format (PDF). If you would like a copy of the PDF, select the tax table you need and go to the heading ‘Using this table’. The link to the PDF is in the ‘Get it done’ section.

Tax tables for previous years are also available.

Important information – June 2019

The Federal Budget did not result in any changes to tax rates or income thresholds for the 2019-20 income year. Changes announced to the low and middle income tax offsets were only in respect of the amount of that offset, and that is claimable when individuals lodge their income tax return.

The HELP/SSL/TSL tax tables will be renamed ‘Study and training support loans tax tables’. They will incorporate HELP, VSL, SFSS, SSL, ABSTUDY SSL and TSL. There will no longer be separate SFSS tax tables. These changes arise from the passing of the Sustainability and VSL Separation Bills in 2018.

You will need to refer to the applicable 'Study and training support loans tax table' wherever any existing tax tables refer to HELP/SSL/TSL or SFSS tax tables.

Therefore, only Schedule 8 – Statement of formulas for calculating study and training support loans components (NAT 3539) and study and training support loans weekly, fortnightly and monthly tax tables have been updated for the 2019–20 year.

For further information on these changes refer to Study and training support loans rates and thresholds 2019-20External Link.
