State Opposition Leader Chris Minns claims New South Wales residents have the greatest tax burden in Australia, adding to their cost-of-living pain. Is that true? RMIT ABC Fact Check investigates.
As suggested by Mr Minns, New South Wales is the highest-taxing state on a per-capita basis.
Although not a "state", the Australian Capital Territory collected significantly more taxes per capita than any other jurisdiction — including New South Wales — with the equivalent of $5,290 collected per resident.When state taxes are expressed as a share of the state's economy, Victoria overtakes New South Wales as the highest-taxing state with revenues equal to 5.9 per cent of GSP.
When considered as a proportion of GSP, New South Wales would fall to second place behind Queensland , and narrowly ahead of Victoria .
