Apply for deferral of taxes/levies due

Whyalla-based businesses impacted by the Whyalla Steelworks' challenges and administration may be eligible to have their state taxes deferred with no interest or penalty tax applied.

Taxes that can be deferred include payroll tax, land tax and the emergency services levy. RevenueSA will work with impacted businesses to arrange to defer any taxes or levies due.

To apply for a deferral email payrolltaxenquiries@sa.gov.au using the subject line: 'Application to defer taxes/levies due'.

In your email please include:

• your taxpayer or owner number
• amount you wish to defer (if known)
• summary of how your business is impacted by the administration of the Whyalla Steelworks.

Taxation officers will provide confirmation of approved deferred payment via email which will also outline the conditions of the deferral.
