Backpacker tax tables from 1/1/17

From 1 January 2017, the Government will set the tax rate applying to working holiday makers at 19% on earnings up to $37,000.
Just wondering if Reckon will have a way to choose certain employees as being backpackers and therefore using the different tax rates.

I would also like to know the answer to that one.
We employ a lot of backpackers in the season, and some only stay for a few days/weeks, some for longer periods.
I am wondering if there will be a separate tax code to choose for backpackers, to make it a little easier.
The idea of having to manually change every pay, every week, means errors creep in due to us having to change more things.0 -
Hi folks,
I'm not certain that a specialised tax code will be added at this point, however you can complete the desired result by editing the tax information for the particular employee.

Hi Alison; I'm not 100% sure but I don't think that legislation has actually been passed as yet?

Thanks Robyn I believe you are correct that it still hasn't been legislated. However it has been approved by cabinet. http://sjm.ministers.treasury.gov.au/media-release/104-2016/
Also thanks for the guidance Rav.
Regards,
