Notes:

(1) Growth rates are in year average terms rounded to a ¼ of a percentage point.

(8) The contribution to the growth each year in payroll tax revenue which is attributable to each of employment growth, wages growth and compliance activities in 2019-20 to 2022-23, in dollar and percentage point terms, are shown in the table below.

For 2018-19, the estimated outcome for payroll tax revenue is calculated with reference to the year-to-date outcome and historical trends. As the estimated outcome is calculated on a different basis to the forward estimates (which are modelled), the contributions by component are unavailable.

It should be noted that these figures represent the breakdown of the additional revenue that is to be collected in that year compared to the year before. For example, in 2020-21 compliance revenue is expected to be collected, though not more than the year before. Therefore, no contribution to the overall growth in payroll tax revenue is shown.
