I am employed as a debit/credit real estate agent. This means I get a wage- a gross fiqure minus tax and super each week. This is offset against commissions earnt.
When I have commissions due the employer take off this as a deduction the gross amount I have been paid as a wage.
Meaning they are refunding themselves the tax and super paid when I recieve my retainer. That tax and super they refund themselves doesn't go to the tax office or super fund they just keep it as a reimbursment.
I then pay tax and super on any of my commission earnings which is standard.
My question is can they be reimbursed for the tax and super I have paid from my retainer and if not is that portion actually payable to me as they as a full time employee are required to pay super anyway.
Should the commission be ducted against a bet fiqure and not the gross fiqure.
