The taxes classification (TC) is a classification used for the identification of taxation revenue by type of tax, and is used for output purposes in the Australian GFS. The structure of the TC is hierarchical, and consists of a 1-digit level (division), a 2-digit level (group) and a 3-digit level (class). The division reflects the different types of tax at the broad level; the group and class provide further detail about the taxes that comprise each division. Further information on the TC may be found in Chapter 6 of this manual. The TC is shown in Table A1A.15 below:
