The Distribution of Taxes and Government Benefits in Australia

Ann Harding, Rachel Lloyd and Neil Warren

Chapter 7 in The Distributional Effects of Government Spending and Taxation, 2006, pp 176-201 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Governments influence income distribution in many ways, including through an extensive web of regulatory and non-budgetary policies. However, the distribution of income is more directly affected through the billions of dollars of taxation revenue that government raises annually and the social programs upon which a large part of that revenue is spent. This study examines the distribution and redistribution of income in Australia in 2001–02.
