The primary source of funds for Australian States and Territories is GST revenue distributed by the Commonwealth using an equalisation formula that has proved to be politically unsustainable and in recent times manifestly inadequate to provide the revenue needed in response to crises and natural disasters. A tipping point has been reached and reform is urgently needed. Drawing on international experience with GST distributions specifically and fiscal federalism more generally, the project aims to develop a reform blueprint for a sustainable and equitable fiscal federalism regime in Australia that best aligns with Australia’s current and long-term fiscal needs.

澳大利亚各州和领地的主要资金来源是联邦使用均等公式分配的商品及服务税收入，该公式已被证明在政治上不可持续，而且近年来明显不足以提供应对危机和自然灾害所需的收入，这是一个转折点。该项目旨在借鉴商品及服务税分配和更广泛的财政联邦制方面的国际经验，为澳大利亚制定一个最符合澳大利亚当前和未来的可持续和公平的财政联邦制制度的改革蓝图。长期财政需求。
