Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

The Treasurer’s declaration sets the 2004–05 GST revenue‑sharing formula: Australia pools GST receipts and redistributes them to states and territories using relativity factors that adjust each jurisdiction’s share based on capacity to raise revenue and the cost of providing services.

This horizontal fiscal equalisation system reduces disparities so all states can fund comparable hospitals, schools and roads — poorer or remote jurisdictions receive higher relativities, wealthier ones receive less.
