CHIEF MINISTER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION WITHOUT NOTICE

10 DECEMBER 1991

MR COLLAERY:.. I ASK THE CHIEF MINISTER WHETHER SHE TS AWARE OF THE ACTUAL SUM kAISEDBX THE ASSESSMENT OF THOSE SERVICE -CONTRACTS. WHAT PART OF THE 85 : 1 MILLION DOLLARS SERVICE FROM PAYROLL TAX, RELATES TO SERVICE CONTRACTS?

MY ANSWER-IS: IT IS DIFFICULT TO ESTABLISH EXACTLY HOW MUCH

OF THE PAYROLL TAX REVENUE RELATES TO SERVICE CONTRACTS

BECAUSE MANY EMPLOYERS DO NOT PROVIDE.SEPARATE INFORMATION OF

SUCH ON THE IRA MTHLY PAYROLL TAX RETURNS..

AN ESTIMATE OF 1 MILLION DOLLARS IS CONSIDERED REASONABLE., MORE-ACCURATE FIGURES WILL BECOME AVAILABLE AT THE COMPLETION OF INVESTIGATIONS OF INDUSTRIES WHICH RELY ON CONTRACT LABOUR AND SERVICES, INCLUDING THE INSURANCE, REAL ESTATE AND BUILDING INDUSTRIES.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SERVICE CONTRACT PROVISIONS"HOWEVER

CANNOT BE MEASURED ONLY IN MONETARY TERMS. THE PROVISIONS

HAVE CLOSED -OFF OFF A SIGNIFICANT AVENUE FORAVOIDANCE INVOLVING -

THE ENGAGEMENT OF P96PLE UNDER CONTRACT RATHER THAN UNDER .

TRADITIOW&MPLOYER/EMPLOYEE ARRANGEMENTS.
