Revenue in focus

In 2020–21, we collected $19.6 billion in revenue and allocated $296.2 million in grants, subsidies, rebates, and payments, including unclaimed money. Additionally, we played a major role in delivering over $960 million in targeted coronavirus tax and fee relief to Victorian businesses and individuals.

The revenue we collect helps to fund vital infrastructure and government services, such as education, law and order, and healthcare, while also contributing to specific support provided to the community and industry.
