TRAINEESHIPS - REBATE SCHEME PROVIDED BY OSR
Last Updated: 25/03/2009 10:47:54 PM
 Traineeships - Employer Payroll tax rebates
Prior to 1 July 2008, wages paid to apprentices and new entrant trainees in NSW were exempt from payroll tax. From 1 July 2008, this exemption no longer applies and all employers are required to include the wages and salaries paid to apprentices and new entrant trainees in their payroll tax calculation.A rebate scheme replaces this exemption. Rebates are provided by the Office of State Revenue (OSR) by allowing the amount of the rebate to be offset against monthly payroll tax payments. OSR provide this offset facility through their monthly calculator online service.
Employers should regularly check for changes in payroll tax requirements at http://www.osr.nsw.gov.au
LICENCE HOLDERS AFFECTED BY ROGERS TRAINING ACADEMY... INTERCEPT HAPPY TO ASSIST
Last Updated: 12/03/2009 2:35:11 PM

The NSW Police Security Industry Registry has announced that qualifications issued by Rodgers Training Academy (Auburn) will not be accepted by SIR for the purposes of obtaining a Licence or as evidence of having undertaken Upgrade training as per new requirements that came into effect in late 2007.

As such, it is estimated that approx 5,000 licence holders have been affected; and the Deputy Commissioner of Police has indicated that many (if not all) of the Licence holders will be required to re-train / be re-assessed in order to keep those Licences.

They will only have until the end of this calendar year (Dec 09) to have been re-assessed / re- trained by an Approved Registered Training Organisation.

5,000 Licence holders is a lot of people. December will be here before you know it, and if you haven’t complied with the extension and provide evidence of re-training / assessment your Licence will be revoked.

Intercept is happy to assist those genuine Licence holders affected by Rodgers Training qualifications no longer being deemed valid by the SIR.

There are no shortcuts or quick fixes; Licence holders need to be trained and upgraded properly. In the past, students contacting us have commented that it is too hard to do upgrades with Intercept because we require evidence; we will still require evidence that meets the requirements and we will not “tick n flick” – anybody.
