Here&#8217;s what a &#8220;base rate entity&#8221; is, and why the distinction is worth understanding rather than just assuming.<\/p>\n<h2>Two company tax rates<\/h2>\n<p>Australia&#8217;s standard company tax rate is 30%. But companies that qualify as &#8220;base rate entities&#8221; pay a reduced rate of 25% &mdash; a difference that compounds meaningfully over time, and directly affects the size of franking credits your company can pass on to you.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/payslp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/company_tax_rate_comparison-1.png\" alt=\"Bar chart comparing 25% base rate entity tax versus 30% standard company tax\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>On $100,000 of company profit, that&#8217;s the difference between $25,000 and $30,000 in company tax &mdash; $5,000 that either stays in the business or, eventually, reaches you as a larger franked dividend.<\/p>\n<h2>What makes a company a &#8220;base rate entity&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Two conditions, both need to be met:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aggregated turnover under <strong>$50 million<\/strong> for the income year<\/li>\n<li>No more than <strong>80%<\/strong> of assessable income is &#8220;base rate entity passive income&#8221; (BREPI)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For most small contractor Pty Ltd companies &mdash; a single director providing genuine services to clients &mdash; both conditions are met easily. The turnover threshold is far above what an individual contractor typically bills, and active service income isn&#8217;t passive income at all.<\/p>\n<h2>What counts as passive income (BREPI)<\/h2>\n<p>Passive income includes things like dividends from other companies (unless you hold a significant voting interest), interest, rent, royalties, and net capital gains. If your Pty Ltd is genuinely trading &mdash; billing clients for your services &mdash; essentially none of your income falls into this category, so the 80% test is comfortably passed. This provision exists mainly to stop passive investment vehicles from claiming the concessional trading-business rate, not to catch ordinary contractors.<\/p>\n<h2>Why this matters for franking<\/h2>\n<p>The rate your company actually paid determines the maximum franking credit you can attach to a dividend &mdash; you can&#8217;t frank at 30% if you only paid 25% tax. For imputation purposes, you assume your turnover and passive income mix will be the same as the previous year, which is how you determine the correct franking rate to apply <em>before<\/em> you know the current year&#8217;s final figures with certainty.<\/p>\n<h2>Don&#8217;t assume &mdash; check<\/h2>\n<p>The distinction matters enough that getting it wrong has real consequences: franking a dividend at the wrong rate means either over-franking (which can trigger additional tax) or under-franking (leaving value on the table for your shareholders). For the overwhelming majority of solo contractor Pty Ltd companies, 25% is the correct rate &mdash; but it&#8217;s worth confirming with your accountant rather than assuming, particularly in a year with unusual passive income (a large asset sale, for instance) that could tip the 80% test the wrong way.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/payslp.com\/aus\/contractor\">contractor calculator<\/a> assumes base rate entity status (25%) by default, matching the overwhelming majority of solo contractor Pty Ltd companies &mdash; but do verify this applies to your specific circumstances.<\/p>\n<h2>Related reading<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"related-reading\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/payslp.com\/blog\/contractor-tax-australia-pty-ltd-psi\/\">Contractor Tax in Australia: Pty Ltd, PSI Rules and Franked Dividends Explained<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/payslp.com\/blog\/personal-services-income-tests-australia\/\">Personal Services Income: The Four Tests That Decide Your Tax Bill<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/payslp.com\/blog\/franking-credits-explained-australia\/\">Franking Credits Explained: How Dividend Imputation Actually Works<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not every Australian company pays the same rate of tax &mdash; and for most small contractor Pty Ltd companies, that&#8217;s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":639,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"base rate entity tax australia","_yoast_wpseo_title":"Base Rate Entity Tax Explained: 25% vs 30% Company Tax (2026\/27)","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"What is a base rate entity and why does it matter?
