Introduction

This paper provides taxation information for each Commonwealth Electoral Division (CED). The information shown includes such categories as the number of taxpayers, the taxable income of taxpayers and the amount of tax paid by taxpayers. Tables have also been produced that rank the CEDs against some of these categories.

The information shown in the following tables has been derived from information published at the postcode level by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). The allocation of postcodes to CEDs, or the concordance, is based upon results from the 1996 Census of Population and Housing, although the CEDs are as at the 1998 election. When a postcode falls entirely within a CED, the published information is wholly included within the CED. When a postcode is dissected by CED boundaries the results for the postcode are proportioned between the CEDs based upon the percentages of the population of that postcode that reside in each CED.(1)

The tax data shown in the tables were compiled by the ATO from individual tax return forms for the 1996-97 income year which were processed during the 1997-98 financial year. The postcode information published by the ATO is for the postcode stated in the home address on each tax return. If a postcode is not stated or, if stated, is not a valid postcode, ie no such postcode exists, the information is classified as unallocated within the State or Territory that the tax return was processed.(2) In the processing of postcodes to CEDs, postcodes not identified within the 1996 Census, e.g. not in existence at the time of the Census, have also been classified as unallocated.

Major findings

Table 1, Taxation Statistics by Commonwealth Electoral Division, shows various categories of tax information for the 1996-97 income year for each CED, listed alphabetically by State/Territory. This information shows that the ACT has the highest average (mean) taxable income ($36 237) followed by the Northern Territory ($33 397) and NSW ($33 123). As would be expected, the ACT ($9562) pays the highest average (mean) tax. However, the average tax paid in NSW ($8463) is higher than that paid in Northern Territory ($7860). This is probably due to the combined effects of NSW paying more tax (proportionately) in the top income tax bracket, NSW having a higher average (mean) imputation credit and taxpayers in the Northern Territory having greater access to tax rebates such as zone allowances. Northern Territory's position as a low income tax paying region is further emphasised by its low effective tax rate (23.5 per cent). Victoria is just below the income, tax and tax rates of Australia as a whole, while Tasmania is the bottom State.

Table 2, Commonwealth Electoral Divisions ranked by Taxable Individuals, shows the electorates with the largest elector enrolments-Canberra (ACT), Fraser (ACT) and Northern Territory-appearing at the top of this table.(3) Also, there is no surprise that four Tasmanian electorates are among the bottom five electorates and the fifth Tasmanian electorate takes up the eighth bottom position; Tasmania electorates are the smallest in the country with an average enrolment of just over 66 000.(4)

However, just the size of the electorates, as measured by the number of electors, is not the complete story. If the ratio of taxpayers to electors is also considered a further picture emerges. The top ten electorates have, on average, 7.9 taxpayers for every 10 electors enrolled and the North Sydney (NSW) electorate has 8.7. The bottom ten electorates have only 5.6 taxpayers per 10 electors and Paterson (NSW) has only 5.(5) The Australian average is 6.8 taxpayers per 10 electors. Probable reasons for the differences between top and bottom electorates include

  • the top ten electorates are predominantly inner metropolitan. These electorates tend to have lower unemployment levels and more two income families
  • the predominant classification applied to the bottom ten electorates is rural. Some of these electorates, such as Cowper, Paterson and Lyne, all coastal northern NSW, also include large numbers of retired people. In fact, the bottom half of this table is dominated by rural (and provincial) electorates.

Table 3, Commonwealth Electoral Divisions ranked by Total Taxable Income, shows similar patterns to table 2 and is influenced by two factors, firstly, the number of taxpayers and, secondly, the size of the incomes of those taxpayers. The ATO states that:

The source and level of income varies according to the age and employment status of the taxpayer. For example, among retirees the main sources of income are government and other pensions and annuities, and eligible termination payments. As a result, the amount of ... taxable income [is] low among older age groups.

Level of income also varies widely according to geographic location. People of similar incomes tend to live in the same general areas.(6)

An obvious example of the effect of income sizes-whether incomes are generally higher or lower relative to other electorates-is the re-ordering of electorates throughout this table in comparison with table 2. At the top of the table, the generally higher incomes of the north shore and eastern suburbs areas of Sydney and the eastern suburbs of Melbourne have caused these electorates to displace the ACT and Northern Territory electorates, which have higher numbers of taxpayers. The general income sizes of electorates are shown in table 4.

Table 4, Commonwealth Electoral Divisions ranked by Mean Taxable Income, shows an income spread from just over $24 700 in Cowper to just under $51 900 in Bradfield (NSW). Mayo (SA) and Dawson (Qld) are the electorates in the middle of the table with average incomes around $29 800. NSW dominates the top ten electorates with six, Victoria has three and WA has one.

As mentioned above, unemployment levels have an important effect on the number of taxpayers and the level of income. In September 1997, Bradfield, North Sydney and Wentworth (NSW) were estimated to have unemployment rates of 1.8 per cent, 3.0 per cent and 3.3 per cent respectively.(7) At the other end of the rankings, Cowper, Richmond (NSW) and Fairfax (Qld) had unemployment rates of 13.4 per cent, 14.1 per cent and 12.6 per cent respectively. At this same time the national unemployment rate was 8.5 per cent.

Cowper and Richmond are situated on the north coast of NSW while Fairfax takes in the Sunshine Coast of Queensland and the hinterland. Apart from high unemployment levels these areas are all rural electorates that also have high levels of retired people. The combination of these factors would help explain their low levels of average taxable incomes.

Table 5, Commonwealth Electoral Divisions ranked by Net Tax, shows the net individual income tax paid on the total taxable income of each electorate. North Sydney, at the top, paid over $1 billion in tax in 1996-97, Cowper, at the other end, paid $200 million. The effect of marginal tax rates(8) is evident here because North Sydney only has 1.8 times the taxpayers of Cowper yet has 3.5 times the taxable income and pays 5.1 times net tax. The average taxable income in North Sydney attracts a marginal tax rate of 43 per cent, the average taxable income in Cowper a marginal rate of 34 per cent. This result is further emphasised when looking at the effective (or average) rate of tax shown in table 7.

Table 6, Commonwealth Electoral Divisions ranked by Mean Total Tax, shows the average tax paid by the taxpayers in the electorate. Total tax, where total tax is net tax plus imputation credit, is used to derive the information shown in this table. The imputation credit is included because dividends received by taxpayers from companies are assessable income and, although tax has already been paid by the companies, this amount of tax would have been payable by the taxpayers.(9) The electorates with the highest average taxable incomes, as shown in this table, are also the electorates that have very high levels of imputation credit (see table 1), reflecting levels of share ownership by the higher income groups.

The average tax paid per taxpayer varied from $5000 in Cowper to $16 800 in Bradfield with the tax paid in the middle ranking electorates of inner metropolitan Stirling (WA) and outer metropolitan Calwell (Vic) of just under $7000.

Table 7, Commonwealth Electoral Divisions ranked by Effective Rate of Tax, shows the average (mean) rate of tax paid on the taxable income. At the top of the rankings 32 per cent, or nearly a third, of income is paid in tax compared with the bottom where 20 per cent, or a fifth, of income is tax.

Endnotes

  1. The percentages used in the allocation of postcodes to Commonwealth Electoral Divisions can be found in 'Postcodes In Electoral Divisions', (see the bibliography).
  2. It is possible for a valid postcode not to be a valid residential postcode, e.g. post office box postcodes. Also, for confidentiality reasons, postcodes with less than 100 taxpayers (non taxables plus taxables) are also classified as unallocated.
  3. At the 1998 Federal election, the number of electors enrolled for these electorates were Canberra 105 359, Northern Territory 105 048 and Fraser 104 177.
  4. The average enrolment in Australia is over 82 100.
  5. A list of electorates and the number of electors enrolled at the 1998 election can be found in 'Federal Elections 1998' (see the bibliography).
  6. Australian Taxation Office, Taxation Statistics, 1996-97, A Summary of Taxation, Superannuation and Child Support Statistics, p. 15.
  7. Estimates of unemployment rates by electoral division are produced by the Statistics Group of the Department of the Parliamentary Library from data published in Small Area Labour Markets by the Department of Employment, Workplace Relations and Small Business. For more information on the methodology involved in producing the unemployment rates for electorates see A. Kopras and T. Kryger, 'Estimated Unemployment Rates by Electorate, December Quarter 1997', Research Note No. 46, 1997-98, Information and Research Services, Department of the Parliamentary Library.
  8. The marginal rate of tax is the rate of tax that is paid on the last dollar earned. See the glossary for the 1996-97 income tax rates scale.
  9. Dividends that are taxed at the company level and then distributed to taxpayers are also accompanied by imputation credit equal to the amount of tax paid. Since dividends are assessable income but the dividends received are net dividends, i.e. net of tax, the amount of dividend that is assessed as income (or added to any existing taxable income) is the net dividend plus the imputation credit. Tax is calculated on the total taxable income and then reduced by the amount of imputation credit.
