Pay as you go withholding and instalments tables

Pay as you go withholding (PAYG(W)) is an amount of tax withheld from certain payments or transactions, such as salaries or wages. Pay as you go instalments (PAYG(I)) are instalments paid during the income year which go towards a taxpayer’s expected tax liability.

The Pay as you go section contains the following tables:

• Table 37: Pay as you go withholding liabilities, by entity type, 2011–12 to 2013–14 financial years
• Table 38: Pay as you go instalments, by entity type, 2011–12 to 2013–14 financial years

We also have a set of more detailed tables available, in the form of Excel spreadsheets, containing PAYG data at a much finer level.
