THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT will get more than A$1 billion (£513.9 billion) in the next financial year from its holiday tax on Australians travelling overseas to destinations and international visitors to the country.
The government currently applies an A$55 (£28.25) Passenger Movement Charge – or holiday tax – on Australian and international visitors departing the country on flights and cruise ships. It is anticipated to raise more A$1 billion in 2016-17.
The tax was introduced in 1995 to cover the cost of border and security controls at international gateways.
