Budget

Treasury provides advice to Government ministers and other services in support of 'effective government spending and taxation arrangements'. The focus is on the direct activities of the Government, its spending programmes, industry assistance, funding of other levels of government and the use of taxation powers. Treasury advises in particular on the Commonwealth Budget and taxation policies.
