GST paid as proportion of income
David Farrar made this Official Information request to Inland Revenue Department
The request was successful.
From: David Farrar
Dear Inland Revenue Department,
I am working on a research project that aims to show the total tax paid, transfers and subsidies for 26 different household types. Ideally I would like the GST estimates to be as refined as possible.
I know IRD can't of course trace GST paid by individuals, but I recall there has been work in the past for Tax Working Groups that has provided estimates.
What I am after is any information or papers that can help with the following:
1) Proportion of after tax income that goes on GST for the average (mean or median) New Zealander
2) Proportion of after tax income that goes on GST for different income levels, deciles, quintiles etc
3) Any known differences in GST paid by sex, age, ethnicity, employment status
Many thanks
David Farrar
