Australian Taxation Statistics by Entity Type and Year

2022-23 and 2023-24 data provide an overview of the income and tax status of Australian individuals, companies, partnerships, trusts, and funds. The dataset includes statistics from the Australian Taxation Office, with some records dating back to 2011-12. It covers multiple tax types, including GST, FBT, and excise, as reported by different entities.

Use Cases

• Analyzing income distribution trends based on aggregated taxpayer statistics.
• Comparing tax liabilities across different entity types like companies, trusts, and individuals.
• Modeling government revenue from specific tax types like GST or excise.
• Mapping regional economic activity using the geospatial components.

Strengths

• Published by the authoritative Australian Taxation Office.
• Covers multiple financial years, including the recent 2023-24 period.
• Available under open licenses (CC-BY-4.0 and CC-BY-2.5).

Limitations

• Column names and row counts are not provided in the available metadata, limiting assessment of structure.
• Conflicting license information exists between sources (CC-BY-4.0 vs. CC-BY-2.5).
• The 'last updated' dates (2026) appear to be platform metadata and likely do not reflect the actual data vintage.
