ABA Says Big Tech Tax Gap Putting Payments at Risk
The Australian Banking Association (ABA) warned that a widening tax and regulatory gap between banks and multinational tech firms threatens the stability of Australia’s payment systems. In 2025 Australian banks paid roughly US$10.6 billion in taxes, while Meta, Apple and Google together contributed about US$214 million.

ABA chief Simon Birmingham highlighted Apple’s US$101 million tax bill as disproportionately low given its market value.
