The Statistics and Intelligence Division (renamed Statistics Division in 1975), which was set up in 1919, is responsible for the preparation of Budget estimates, for estimating the cost or yield of changes in taxation, for advising the board on budgetary issues primarily of a financial character, for the general statistical work of the department, including collaboration with the Treasury in the production of national income estimates and forecasts. Until 1963 it was responsible also for the management of the board's library (now the responsibility of Central Division) and the provision of an information service, particularly on foreign and Commonwealth taxation, now maintained by Policy Division. |
