Queensland LNP pledges to permanently exempt GPs from payroll tax to reduce patient fees.
The Queensland Liberal National Party (LNP) has promised to permanently exempt general practitioners (GPs) from payroll tax if elected, aiming to reduce patient fees. Recent legal rulings in NSW and Victoria classified GPs as employees, making them subject to payroll tax. Critics, including the Labor government, question the LNP's funding strategy for this policy, which is estimated to cost around $100 million annually in lost revenue.
