    8th April 2020 The Hon. Mr Tim Pallas, MP Treasurer of Victoria Level 4, 1 Treasury Place East Melbourne, VIC 3002 Dear Mr Pallas, COVID-19 crisis calls for the abolition of payroll tax We write to you on behalf of the National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA), the peak industry body for Australia’s electrical and communications contracting industry, which employs more than 165,000 workers and delivers an annual turnover in excess of $23 billion. NECA represents the best interests of over 5,200 electrical contracting businesses across all Australian States and Territories. NECA members make an integral contribution to Australia’s economy. Our members are essential from any defining aspect, including connecting hospitals, communities, schools, businesses and infrastructure across the country. From installing solar infrastructure and batteries for households, to connecting solar farms to managing the grid and undertaking millions of hours of electrical work on major infrastructure. The current COVID-19 crisis is having an unprecedent and detrimental effect upon the economy and employment in Victoria. An event which NECA acknowledges is out of the control of Government. However, certain things can be done to ensure the industry remains strong and well positioned post COVID-19. NECA and our members are keen to ensure that we work proactively with Government to restore the economic and employment levels in Victoria. In doing so, employment barriers such as payroll tax must be removed – a mechanism which is within the control of Government. NECA, as well as other industry bodies, are firmly of the view that any form of payroll tax is both counter-intuitive and counter-productive.
