For resident individuals in Australia, tax is levied on worldwide income on a progressive basis, referred to as marginal tax rates. Your marginal tax rates (shown in the following table) can vary between 0 per cent and 45 per cent. The more income you earn, the greater the amount of tax you’re liable to pay.
| Taxable Income | Marginal Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| First $6,000 | nil |
| $6,001–$37,000 | 15% |
| $37,001–$80,000 | 30% |
| $80,001–$180,000 | 37% |
| Over $180,000 | 45% |
A company is a separate legal entity and the company tax rate is 30 per cent.
