Answered on 3 September 2019
The Treasurer is due to table the 2018-19 Annual Report on State Finances before the end of September 2019. This report will include audited financial outcomes, including payroll tax collected for the 2018-19 financial year.
If the member has specific questions in relation to the 2018-19 Annual Report on State Finances I would ask that they be held over until after the report is tabled.
