Okay someone who knows tax help meeeeee. I just got my first payslip, and ive just been taxed $78

I work casually, I only earned $120. and got taxed more than half my pay? Idk this doesnt seem right. I am going to ask my supervisor at work, but just wanted to ask if anyone may know why.
Also the pay slip says 'please give tax number asap' when I did actually give it to them. So idk

does the slip tell you what the deductions were for?

@Fernie it just says 'PAYG tax: $-78'

@SeductiveCactus girl, you NEED to go to payroll...the ones who cut the checks and put your time /hours in and ask them what the heck it is all about!

@SeductiveCactus Fernie is exactly right. Below is a screenshot from PAYG (pay as you go😋) for Australia, but it doesn't look right to me - the figures shown are, I think, translated to annual.

Go to payroll.
