The amount <strong>of</strong> payroll tax collected is based on the registered address <strong>of</strong> the business. As some<br />
businesses have their head <strong>of</strong>fice in another location, it is not possible for the Office <strong>of</strong> State Revenue to<br />
accurately report on the amount <strong>of</strong> tax collected by postcode.<br />
