Understanding Taxes in New South Wales
Australia has a progressive federal tax system with a tax-free threshold of A$18,200. Rates range from 16% to 45%. The 2% Medicare levy applies to most taxpayers. There are no state-level income taxes in Australia, so NSW residents pay the same income tax as residents of other states. The Superannuation Guarantee (currently 11.5%) is an employer contribution and is not deducted from your gross salary.
