Abstract
The Passenger Movement Charge (PMC) is a levy of $47 on departing passengers, covering
outbound international visitors and outbound Australian residents. Currently, around
$503 million is sourced from this tax.
The study considers the impacts of a 20% increase in the PMC. A computable general
equilibrium (CGE) model is used to assess the impacts of the PMC on key macroeconomic
variables, such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Gross National Income (GNI) and
Economic Welfare, and on tourism industry indicators such as output and employment. The
study also looks at the impacts on the international and Australian resident outbound travel
segments.
