The ATO has developed a range of resources to help agriculture workers get their tax right in preparation for 1 July 2022.
The attached brochure 'If you’re in the agriculture industry it pays to learn what you can claim' has some handy information about what you can and can't claim at Tax time.
After a two-year hiatus, this is finally a chance to reconnect in-person, share insights, and reshape the future of our industry, together.
Hosted May 29 – 30, the Forum will return to an in-person format, hosted here in Melbourne. The 2022 theme is 'Grow Beyond'.

New minimum wage guarantee for pieceworkers- coming into effect from Thursday 28th April
Minimum wage guarantee
From 28 April 2022, workers paid a piece rate will be guaranteed a minimum wage for each day that they work. This is called a ‘minimum wage guarantee’. Affected pieceworkers have to be paid a minimum amount for the hours that they work each day, effective the first pay period on or after 28 April 2022. This change applies to full-time, part-time and casual employees. See Minimum wage guarantee for pieceworkers.
New record-keeping obligations
Employers have new record-keeping obligations for pieceworkers, including that they record the hours worked by a pieceworker and the piece rates applied. See Record-keeping.
Employers can use our free checklist to help prepare for the new rules for piece rates. Go to New tools and resources.
