The NSW Government's Jobs Action plan targets the creation of 100,000 new jobs in NSW from July 2011 and gives businesses the incentive to employ new workers and expand their enterprises.

Businesses that increase their employment levels will receive a payroll tax rebate following the employment of each additional employee in a position that is a new job.  The total rebate payable is $4,000 per full-time employee and a proportion of $4,000 for a part-time employee.  The rebate is payable in 2 payments of up to $2,000 on the first and second annual anniversary of the commencement of employment.

40,000 of the new jobs will be prioritised for non-metropolitan areas of NSW with the remaining 60,000 in metropolitan areas.

To be eligible for the rebate scheme, you must be registered as an employer and paying payroll tax under the Payroll Tax Act 2007.
