PAYG Withholding Remittance Penalties
Definition
For multi-state performances, aggregating withholding across venues complicates timely BAS lodgement, leading to penalties on unremitted taxes from non-resident musicians.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Shortfall interest 4.86% pa + GIC penalties up to 75% of tax; typical AUD 5k-50k per delayed BAS for major tours
- Frequency: Quarterly BAS cycles
- Root Cause: Manual reconciliation of multi-state payments; missed TFN validation
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Music promoters lose AUD 100k+ annually on late PAYG remittances for tours. Automated BAS lodgement prevents penalty accumulation.
