ABOUT THIS ELECTRONIC RELEASE
This electronic release presents quarterly government finance statistics (GFS) on an accrual accounting basis. All tables are presented in GFS operating statement format for the general government sector, with the exception of Table 2 which presents data for the public non-financial corporations sector.
Quarterly GFS are released for the current financial year only, other than in the September quarter, when the quarters of the previous year are presented. At the point of this release, the quarterly ABS GFS results reported throughout the year do not necessarily add to the annual results recently released by some jurisdictions. Final annual GFS results for 2004-05 are scheduled for release by the ABS on 29 March 2006. Users requiring data for earlier periods should consult Government Finance Statistics, Australia (cat.no. 5512.0). The latest issue (2003-04) was released on 15 April 2005.
As of this release, the ABS has introduced a change in the treatment of Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT). FBT is now treated as a tax on individuals rather than a tax on employers. As such these amounts now form part of compensation of employees in the National Accounts, and Employee Expenses in GFS, rather than as a production tax paid by employers.
This change was advised in two articles released on the ABS website as follows:
1. The article titled "Feature Article 3: Forthcoming Updated National Accounts Annual Benchmarks" was released as part of the June Quarter 2005 National Accounts publication 5206.0 on 7 September 2005.
2.The article titled "Feature Article: Updated National Accounts Annual Benchmarks" was subsequently released as part of the 2004-05 annual National Accounts publication 5204.0 on 7 November 2005.
