Taxation revenue is the most significant component of the Territorys own-source revenue and is expected to grow by an average of 3.9 per cent over the forward estimates period. This growth is the result of continued increases in economic activity and population growth, offset by the Governments commitment to payroll tax and stamp duty reductions and reforms. Further information on the Territory Governments tax reform initiatives can be found in Chapters 4 and 6 of this Budget Paper.
