The Parliamentary Budget Office estimates that the goods and services tax will generate revenue of $A18bn over the next four years. However, increasing the tax to 15 per cent and broadening its scope to include financial services could potentially lift revenue to around $A27bn over four years. This is one of the options that will be considered by the Federal Government, and has been advocated by South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill.
