Financial Institutions Duty
- Financial Institutions Duty
Financial Institutions Duty (FID) was a duty levied by Australian states and territories, except Queensland, on deposits to bank accounts, term deposits, and similar.
The tax was introduced in the different states on dates between 1982 and 1992. It was abolished in all states from 1 July 2001, as part of the package of reforms for the Goods and Services Tax.
The duty was a percentage of the amount deposited, but with a maximum tax per deposit on ordinary accounts,
:
For term deposit or short term money market investments there was no limit on the duty per deposit. But for amounts of $50,000 or more and up to 185 days the duty was reduced by a factor days/365, so for example only 0.0012% on a 73 day investment (1/5 of the year).
The duty was levied according to the state where the bank account was domiciled, not where the account holder lived. About $1 billion per year was being collected just before its abolition (calculated by the Australian Bankers' Association).
