Australia
This part of the Web Taxation guide looks at developments in
Australia.
The Australian Taxation Office last
year released its second report
on Tax & The Internet, outlining the federal government's
ecommerce taxation policy.
The first report was published in 1997. The
new report, of around 200 pages, includes responses to the initial
report and policy developments at a national and international level.

You may wish to explore two sites -
Australian Taxation Office (ATO)
- apart from being people who hoover up your money, they have one of
the best Australian government sites on the Web
Australian Customs Service (ACS)
- cute sniffer dogs but still operating with a pre-digital mindset
GST
Three useful sites for information on the Goods & Services
Tax are:
the Australian Treasury
Department site provides a range of information sheets and briefing
documents about the joy of tax. An essential if you're a
macroeconomist, a policy wonk or just like to wallow in PDFs
more practical, or merely more responsive because they deal with
the public on a daily basis, the Australian Taxation Office site
features a wealth of information about the GST
(admittedly not all of which we understand)
ACOSS's
online contribution to tax reform debate features analysis by churches
and the Australian Council of Social Services (ACOSS)
