The payroll tax report Xero doesn't have.
If you run payroll across NSW, VIC, QLD or any other state, you know the drill: export, re-key wages into eight different revenue-office calculators, hope the thresholds are current. CountProof reads your Xero payroll and does the working — every figure traceable, every rate linked to its government source.

- Payroll tax
Multi-state payroll tax — monthly liability per state with correct threshold apportionment, phase-outs and surcharges for all 8 jurisdictions; due dates (including the traps — NT's 21st, the December extensions); July annual reconciliation against instalments paid.
- Portable LSL
Portable long service leave — VIC PLSA quarterly returns from the same data: covered workers, ordinary pay, levy, export in the workbook's columns. More schemes coming.
- Workers comp
Workers comp declarations — the annual wages figure each scheme asks for, per state, ready for your insurer.
- Connect Xero (read-only, two minutes).
- Make the calls only a human should: how each pay item is treated, which state each employee belongs to. Your decisions are recorded and outrank our defaults.
- Get the figures — on screen, printable, with the working shown. Anything ambiguous is flagged for review, never silently decided.
We don't lodge returns, we don't give tax advice, and we never touch tax file numbers or bank details — the connection can't even request them. You (or your adviser) review the figures and lodge. If a rate hasn't been verified against the official source, the app says so instead of guessing. And if your business is grouped with related entities for payroll tax, say so — group thresholds aren't supported yet and we'd rather tell you that upfront than show you a number that's too small.
Founding pilot: free while the first businesses come on board and we earn the case studies. After that, plans from $29/month — published on this page, no "book a call to find out".
CountProof is built by Ben Horne, a one-person Australian software company. That means no sales team and no runaround — and it also means when you email, the person who replies (usually within a few business days) is the person who wrote the code.
Figures are calculations for review with your adviser before registration or lodgement — not tax advice. Rates verified against state revenue office sources, re-checked at every state budget and 1 July. What's new →
