Legislative Assembly Economy and Infrastructure Committee
Inquiry into Commonwealth support for Victoria
Completed
Recent Commonwealth reforms changed how revenue from the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is distributed to states and territories. The inquiry examined the impact of these reforms on Victoria’s GST allocation.
It also considered the impact of the end of the ‘no worse off’ guarantee. The guarantee aims to ensure no state is disadvantaged by the shift to the new system. It will expire in 2026–27 when the transition period ends
