provides a schematic representation of Australia’s tax?transfer system, illustrating the way in which it impacts on individuals’ economic behaviour.

This is indicated by the light blue background shading to the tax elements of the chart. The chart is not intended to be a comprehensive representation of the tax?transfer system. Instead it summarises the major elements of the system and the key linkages between them.
