Where this data came from
This series is based on Australian Taxation Office's Individual Income Tax Return data, and is part of the ABS' program to increase the range of regional data available to users of regional statistics, particularly through the use of administrative information from other government agencies. All data was provided to the ABS in aggregated form and confidentialised, and no information about individual taxpayers was released to the ABS.
