**[[PAYG|Pay As You Go (PAYG)]]** is an Australian taxation system centred on employers withholding the tax portion of their employees' pay with each of their pay instalments. This allows the tax to scale to income expectations, and reduces the burden on both employer and employee in managing their EOFY tax obligations. ^about PAYG is managed by the [[ATO|Australian Taxation Office (ATO)]].
