From July 1, non-government schools with an income higher than $15,000 per student will be subjected to payroll tax, a move that taxes elite private schools heavily.
Some private schools, like Haileybury, will pay more in payroll tax than they receive in funding, raising concerns about the financial impact on institutions and parents.
As a consequence of the new tax, schools have already begun raising fees or introducing levies, with Xavier College implementing an $885 per student payroll tax levy.
The Opposition argues that all schools should remain exempt from payroll tax, emphasizing that non-government institutions play a vital role in the education system.
