The Truth About Australia’s Federal Budget

Ever wondered where the government gets its money? 

The answer is simple: from you. 

Whether you’re working, shopping, driving, or even just enjoying a drink, you’re contributing to the budget.

‍

You Are the Government’s Biggest ATM

Individual taxpayers fund most of the budget, with wages taxed before you even see them. Meanwhile, corporate taxes contribute far less, thanks to deductions and loopholes that let big business soften the blow.

‍

Everything You Buy is Taxed

GST adds 10% to almost everything, from your morning coffee to your weekend splurge. The more you spend, the more the government takes.

‍

Fuel Up? That’s More Cash to Canberra

Every time you buy petrol or diesel, a significant portion of what you pay is tax. Whether you drive for work or leisure, you’re handing over more money to the government with every litre.

‍

Smoking and Drinking? You’re Paying a Premium

‘Sin taxes’ on tobacco and alcohol rake in billions. While they’re marketed as public health measures, they’re also a reliable revenue stream that keeps the budget ticking over.

‍

Want to Visit Australia? That’ll Cost You

Visa fees generate millions annually. Whether you're a tourist, student, or skilled worker, there’s a price to pay before you even step foot in the country.
