The Australian Taxation Office’s (ATO) latest statistics based on 2015-16 tax returns show the average taxable annual income for Young workers was $45,756.
That is more than $2000 more than Boorowa and Cowra workers who average $43,517 and $43,087 respectively.
It’s slightly less than Cootamundra workers who earn on average, $45,920 annually.
However, it pales in comparison to Australia’s richest area – Sydney’s eastern suburbs – where the average income is up to a staggering $192,500 each year.
The ATO figures showed that medical jobs continued to be the best paid. The only non-medical profession to average more than $250,000 was financial dealers on $263,309.
The ATO figures also showed on average Young claimed more deductions ($2763) in their tax return than Cowra ($1645).
