The Treasury says it has revised up its tax revenue by $1.8 billion for the year ended June 30 due to changes in accounting methods.
It says the government has collected $56.2 billion in tax receipts for the 12 months ended June 30, up from the previously advised $54 billion and 0.4% above forecast.
The revised data shows direct tax of $37.4 billion, 0.2% higher than forecast, while total indirect tax of $18.8 billion was 0.8% above forecast.
The Treasury says the adjustment is one-off and reflects the period of transition between methods and should not be mistaken for an increase in the government's underlying tax revenue.
