    Default tax statistics

    Taxation statistics 2008-09: 100 people

    I acknowledge this may be of limited interest to others. I have a rather uncontrolled passion for data and get a tad excited over stuff like this. The reason I mention this page specifically is the data is presented in an easily understood form. Top marks to the ATO for that.

    I know I'm a sick sick man, but I do enjoy trolling through government web sites looking for tasty tidbits...the Bureau of Stats is too much fun...

    Wait! No one told you your government was a sitcom?

    Some nice headlines in there Damian.
    25% of businesses run under a person's own name running at a loss.
    Tax agents have just about got the whole business sewn up.
    Pity we can't factor in GST.
    Cheers,
    Jim

    25% pay no tax. I suppose a lot of those are kids working part time/studying full time ?

    Probably but still have to pay GST.
    As you say the figures are fascinating. Imagine the misogynist headlines - women paying less tax than men!
    Or NSW paying the upkeep of the rest of the country.
    Or seniors can't survive without extra income.
    Cheers,
