The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has constructed statistics on the personal income of permanent migrants.

The Personal Income Tax and Migrants Integrated Dataset (PITMID) was created by linking administrative data on permanent migrants to Australian Taxation Office (ATO) Personal Income Tax records.

The permanent migrant data was compiled by the Australian Government from various departmental systems and a number of external sources, including the Department of Home Affairs and Department of Human Services (Medicare Australia).

The Department of Social Services (DSS) is the custodian of the data. The PITMID data is available in the ABS DataLab for the 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 financial years.

This release provides access to the sample microdata file. Microdata products are the most detailed information available from a census, survey, or administrative source and generally include confidentialised unit record level information (such as responses to individual questions on a questionnaire) and data derived from responses for two or more variables.

They are released with the approval of the Australian Statistician.
