Employers are required to report, and pay levies, monthly. These are due on or before the 28th of each month for the previous month.
The current levy rate is 2.7% of an employee’s eligible wages. Employers of eligible employees must use the Levy Advice form with the correct levy rate calculation.
What makes up each employee’s eligible wages, and a definition of eligible wages, is defined in section 3B of the Coal Mining Industry (Long Service Leave) Payroll Levy Collection Act 1992.
Employers are required to report on, and pay levies for, all hours worked for part-time and casual employees.
