A second Employment Incentive Scheme (Payroll Tax Rebate) (EISPR2) was announced in the 2011-12 Budget.

This operates separately to the original Scheme - EISPR1 - announced in the 2009-10 Budget.

EISPR2 is intended to provide payroll tax relief for new positions established after 16 June 2011 and on or before 30 June 2012. The scheme will operate from 1 July 2011 until 30 June 2013.

Current Payroll Tax registrants must have registered prior to 30 September 2011 to qualify for EISPR2.

New payroll tax registrants who register for payroll tax after 16 June 2011 and on or before 30 June 2012 will be eligible to claim EISPR2 and can submit their registration for EISPR2 at the time of registration for payroll tax.
