Statistics for annual revenue collected
Dear Australian Taxation Office,
If possible, please treat this as an informal or administrative request. Otherwise, please treat this as a formal request for documents under the Freedom of Information Act.
I am seeking copies of documents that provide the annual net tax collections from 1980–81.
Yours faithfully,
Julie Middleton
Good morning Ms Middleton
Thank you for your email.
The FOI team will make inquiries of our ATO colleagues who manage the ATO's TaxStats publications to ascertain whether the ATO has a document of the kind you describe. We will email you again when we have a reply.
Any documents that the ATO holds about TaxStats will always be sourced by us from the TaxStats team. For the fastest and most efficient response to any future inquiries you have about TaxStats, please email that team directly on [email address]. There is no need to make an FOI request for TaxStats that the ATO holds.

Good morning Ms Middleton
Further to our previous email, here is a link to an ATO spreadsheet (published on data.gov.au) that contains statistics for total taxation receipts (see spreadsheet line 183) as well as many taxation sub-categories, for each year from 1901-1902 onwards: https://data.gov.au/dataset/ds-dga-f0fb2....
If you have questions about the statistics in this spreadsheet, please send your inquiry to [email address]. You can also find information about taxation statistics on the ATO website (www.ato.gov.au).
Yours sincerely
FOI Team
