On 26.4.16, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released taxation revenue figures for 2014-15.
It says total taxation revenue collected in Australia increased by $10bn (2.3%) from $435.9bn in 2013-14 to $445.9bn in 2014-15. This was driven by a $10.1bn (4.1%) increase in taxes on income and a $4.3bn (10.5%) increase in taxes on property. Over the same period, the ABS said taxes on use of goods and performance of activities decreased $5.6bn (-26.5%), largely driven by the carbon tax repeal. In 2014-15, taxes on income represented 58.0% of total taxation revenue for all levels of government and taxes on provision of goods and services, including the goods and services tax (GST), represented 23.4%.
