Acclaimed Sydney chef Luke Mangan is optimistic the NSW government is on the cusp of offering small businesses further financial relief.

Mr Mangan told Jim Wilson he’s been in “robust conversations” today with NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet about easing payroll tax obligations.

“It’s an insidious tax that is put on small business … operators to employ people.

“He really took note, and I think something may happen in the future to perhaps delay it for 12 months.”
