Payroll tax audits of 16 GP practices spur RACGP petition against tax grab
The college hopes it can cut through to Victoria's new premier, Jacinta Allan.
More than a dozen GP practices in Victoria are facing payroll tax audits, the RACGP says, as it urges a grassroots campaign in waiting rooms targeting “the patient tax grab”.
Victoria is the only state that has failed to acknowledge or react to new revenue office audits of GP practices based on a court ruling that suggested GPs may be considered employees for tax purposes.
But after Jacinta Allan took over as Premier from Daniel Andrews two weeks ago, the RACGP has hopes for a reinvigorated campaign.
It has launched a petition, with almost 1000 signatures so far, calling on the new Allan Government to “keep GP care affordable”.
