The NSW Opposition will try to change legislation in order to protect GPs from retrospective payroll tax audits and exempt them from payroll tax for the next two years.  

A new tax ruling in NSW and Victoria this month confirmed that GPs could be deemed employees, not contractors, making practices potentially liable for years of unpaid payroll tax.
