Allowances Matrix

One table, every common allowance: is it STP reportable, does it hit W1, is it superable, does PAYG withholding apply? No more rabbit holes.

✓ 9 STP allowance categories ✓ Sources cited ✓ Search & filter

General information only — not tax advice. Allowance treatment depends on the exact wording of the payment, the relevant award or enterprise agreement, and current ATO determinations (cents/km rates and reasonable travel/meal amounts are updated each income year). Verify against the linked ATO sources or your own research before relying on this for a client's payroll setup. Rates shown on this free page are for the 2025–26 income year. Last verified 3 July 2026.

📌 This free version stays fixed at 2025–26 rates. The Bookkeeper Dashboard keeps this same matrix updated to the current financial year (now 2026–27) — see the CTA below.
