Outcomes and output groups
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has not made any changes to its outcome or outputs since the 2003-04 Portfolio Budget Statements.
Output cost attribution
The ATO uses a process of cost allocation to estimate its actual costs incurred on each of the five outputs.
Direct costs are assigned by cost centre managers to the five outputs. Enabling costs such as information technology, corporate overheads and accommodation are attributed to cost centres using actual usage where effective to do so, or through the use of a variety of drivers including headcount.
