Value
An ato_tbl with one row per tax expenditure: label,
category, estimated revenue forgone in AUD millions by year.
Details
TEIS is published by Treasury, not ATO; the function attempts a CKAN search on data.gov.au for the TEIS release, and falls back to the Treasury web URL if not indexed.
Key concessions covered: CGT main residence exemption, CGT 50% discount, superannuation earnings tax concession, franking credit refundability, work-related deductions, fuel tax credit scheme, R&D tax incentive, GST food exemption, and many more.
