How this service works
Authoritative Australasian government reference values as clean JSON: central-bank policy rates, VAT rates, national minimum wages and public holidays for Australia (au), New Zealand (nz). Every value carries a citation to its official primary source (government gazette or central-bank statement), an effective date, a last-confirmed date and a staleness flag.
Output
A JSON object containing the current Australian income tax rate (or bracket thresholds), the series identifier, effective date, last-confirmed date, a boolean staleness flag, detailed notes on any recent changes, and a source object with the official government URL and name. A disclaimer clarifies the service is independent and not government-affiliated.
Example use cases
Tax compliance check for payroll software
“What are the current Australian income tax rates and thresholds I should be applying to payroll calculations? Give me the official figures with their effective dates and ATO source links.”
Legal document citing current AU tax law
“I'm drafting a legal brief and need the current Australian income tax rate with an authoritative government citation and the date it took effect — can you pull that for me?”
Financial advice app freshness verification
“Is the Australian income tax rate data I have still current, or has it been updated recently? I need the latest value, its effective date, and whether it's been flagged as stale.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://ausref.dev/v1/answers/income-taxWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a machine-readable, cited, and freshness-flagged Australian income tax rate with a direct link to the official government source, especially for compliance, legal, or financial applications that require auditability. Prefer it over general-purpose web search when you need structured JSON output with explicit effective dates and staleness indicators rather than scraped prose.
Side effects
- Underlying government source returns HTTP 403, causing the service to rely on proxy rendering which may lag behind real-time updates
- Staleness flag may be true if the value has not been recently re-confirmed against official sources
- Response may be truncated or incomplete if the underlying data pipeline has not yet processed a recent policy change
- No query parameters documented — unclear how to filter by country or sub-series if multiple tax types are served from this path
- Schema is minimal and may not validate complex multi-bracket tax structures

"notes": "The Board raised the target 25bp from 4.10% to 4.35% at its 5 May 2026 meeting (media release mr-26-12); RBA convention is that a change takes effect the business day AFTER the decision, hence effective_from 2026-05-06. The Board met again on 16 June 2026 and left the target unchanged, so 4.35% is confirmed current as at 2026-07-20. 2026 tightening sequence to date: 3.60% -> 3.85% (decision 3 Feb 2026, mr-26-03, eff. 4 Feb 2026), -> 4.10% (decision 17 Mar 2026, eff. 18 Mar 2026, a 5-4 split), -> 4.35% (decision 5 May 2026, eff. 6 May 2026), unchanged 16 Jun 2026. Since the Reserve Bank Reforms Act 2025 (Cth) commenced the decision-maker is the Monetary Policy Board (not the former single Reserve Bank Board), and votes are published: the May 2026 decision was 8-1 (eight to raise 25bp, one to hold at 4.10%). The RBA does not set the cash rate by legal instrument - it is an operational target implemented through open market operations and the Exchange Settlement Account remuneration corridor (ES balances remunerated at the target). ACCESS QUIRK: rba.gov.au returns HTTP 403 to automated fetchers; this value was read from the official page and media release via a plain-text rendering proxy (r.jina.ai) of the same URLs and via search-engine surfacing of rba.gov.au content, not from a third-party aggregator.
