Corporate entities and groups

Last updated 9 December 2020

Over one million entities lodge company income tax returns in Australia. At the time of publication, the 2,311 corporate tax entities in the transparency report represent approximately 65% of total corporate income tax payable in 2018–19.

These entities are not necessarily standalone, as they are sometimes part of a group of entities.

As shown in Figure 20, the 2018–19 corporate transparency population consists of entities that belong to 1,816 unique economic groups, as well as 225 standalone entities. Most economic groups in the corporate transparency population have linked entities outside the scope of this measure.
