  "description": "All-levels Australian taxation revenue as a share of GDP, and the Commonwealth / state-and-local split in dollars. Transcribed from the ABS Taxation Revenue publication because that release is not on the ABS Data API.",
  "transcription": {
    "why": "Taxation Revenue, Australia ships as Excel workbooks and web tables. The Data API has no matching dataflow, so the figures below are read from the published tables rather than ingested.",
    "how": "Dollar totals are from 55060DO002 Table 1 (level of government). Tax as a percentage of GDP is from the 'All Australia taxation revenue' table on the latest-release page — the workbook does not carry that ratio. Every year below was read from those two places, not from secondary reporting.",
