SPREADSHEET CONTENTS


The attached spreadsheets contain various cross-tabulations of the characteristics of wage and salary earners, including age, sex, occupation and wage and salary income, for 2000-01, for the five remoteness areas as defined in the Remoteness Structure contained within the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC), Volume 1, 2001 (cat. no. 1216.0). Data for each state and territory, by remoteness area, are also included.

These data have been compiled from the Australian Taxation Office's (ATO) Individual Income Tax Return Database and are part of the Australian Bureau of Statistics' (ABS) program to increase the availability of regional statistics, particularly through the use of administrative information from other government agencies. The ABS wishes to acknowledge the support the Australian Taxation Office has provided in compiling these statistics.

All individual income tax statistics provided to the ABS by the ATO have been in aggregated form only. No information about individual taxpayers has been released to the ABS.

Details of the methodology and the definitions used to compile the statistics presented in these tables are available in the EXPLANATORY NOTES and GLOSSARY
