(2) What companies received payroll tax waivers and in what amount during each financial year from 2007-08 to date.

(1) A breakdown of the total number of individuals or entities that were given a tax or debt waiver from 2009/2010 financial year through to the 2017/18 financial year is included in the attached table (Attachment A). I have been advised by ACT Revenue Office that the information sought prior to this date is not in an easily retrievable form, and that to collect and assemble the information for the purpose of answering the question would require a considerable diversion of resources.
(2) A breakdown of the amount of Payroll Tax Waivers from 2009/2010 is included in the attached table. It is not possible to provide the name of the individual companies as to do so would breach the privacy provisions of the Taxation Administration Act 1999.
