Manual Excise Payment Processing Overhead
2 verified sources
Definition
Complex per-litre and value-based calculations require significant manual effort, diverting from core operations.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 20-40 hours/month manual labour (AUD 1,000-2,000 at AUD 50/hr); potential ATO late lodgement penalties AUD 222+ per BAS[3]
- Frequency: Monthly for substantial producers; quarterly otherwise
- Root Cause: No automation for ABV-adjusted, volume-based tax with rebate offsets
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Wineries spend 20-40 hours/month on manual excise calculations, equating to AUD 2,000+ labour at AUD 50/hr. Automation cuts to minutes.
