Okay cool.

Australia doesn't have state taxes on income (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Australia_v_Commonwealth).

Instead states taxes tend to be particular levies for works or "stamp duty" on purchases (e.g. cars/houses).

However, when I put the figures through using current exchange rates, AU income tax would be $14,352 US on that amount (around 29% compared to the original 21%) and our tax rates and thresholds have dropped quite significantly recently.



Don't forget the 10% GST/VAT on almost all purchases.
