We use a multi-regional general equilibrium model and a multi-regional microsimulation model to explore the economic consequences of a Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate rise and broadening of the GST base for Australia’s eight states and territories. We identify the states and territories adversely affected by GST change, and explain the regional structural factors responsible for differences in regional impacts. These findings have policy relevance in the context of Australia’s GST framework, which requires unanimous state and territory support for GST change.
