Tax: NZ data and downloads: definitions

Tax revenue of the core Crown on an accrual basis, from 1994. Treasury notes that pre-1994 tax receipts are on a cash basis with different reporting-entity coverage, so they are published separately.

Tax: NZ data and downloads: comparison limits

These affect how the figures can be compared.

  • Not strictly comparable with the pre-1994 cash "tax receipts" series (different basis and coverage).
  • Total tax only; tax by type (income tax, GST, company tax) needs a separate source.

Tax: NZ data and downloads: data by period

The latest ten periods for up to the first six series. Downloads contain every published observation.

Describe how each measure has changed, naming its unit and period. Treat changes in basis and missing periods as breaks. Distinguish observation from explanation. Limitations: Not strictly comparable with the pre-1994 cash "tax receipts" series (different basis and coverage). Total tax only; tax by type (income tax, GST, company tax) needs a separate source.. Do not infer causation from changes during government terms.
