The median income in Australia last year was $51,000, and the average Australian paid more than $11,000 in tax.

The report from the ATO showed that just short of half of its revenue came from individual income tax.

Companies paid 22 per cent of tax in Australia, or $107 billion.

Another 15 per cent came from GST, with the balance coming from super funds, excise and various other taxes.
