Howdy @BrookeFehl,
Since your employee on a 491 Regional Visa is considered a resident of Australia for tax purposes, you should apply the tax-free threshold rate when calculating their PAYG withholding.
Thats provided they've -
- completed a Tax File Number (TFN) declaration form and
- indicated that they wish to claim the tax-free threshold.
