Non-lodgers are individuals who do not lodge a tax return. This can include employees who have employee income reported by their employers, persons who receive an income below certain levels (i.e. the tax-free threshold), or persons who derive their income from some Commonwealth of Australia Government pension, benefit and allowance payments that are exempt from income tax. Due to the unavailability of detailed age and sex data, non-lodgers who have employee income have previously been excluded from download tables 1, 2 and 4.
From this release, detailed age and sex data will include non-lodgers with employee income in download tables 1,2 and 4 for all years from 2017-18 and 2021-22. As a result, key statistics, including total personal income, median total personal income, proportion of employee income in total personal income, sources of person income and Gini coefficients are revised relative to estimates for previous reference years, from 2017-18 to 2020-21.

Improved scoping and selection method for migrants
This release includes migrant data from 2017-18 to 2020-21. Migrant data presented in this release are not comparable with those published i the previous release of Jobs in Australia due to improved scoping and visa selection methods. A new visa selection method has been applied in this release which selects the substantive permanent visa held prior to a resident return visa (subclasses 111, 151, 154-159, 834, R and K38). In instances where no previous substantive permanent visa (skilled, family or humanitarian) can be found, resident return visa holders are grouped into the other permanent migrants category.
