in Australia, when we pay taxes, we get a receipt. The receipt shows what our taxes were spent on
(lemmy.world)
I assume "Other purposes" is govt kickbacks to mining and gas companies ๐ฌ
The data to create this is essentially public with budget bills right? It would just take building a percentage tree and categorizing them appropriately. I might look into how complex this would be to build.
its basically just proportioning out the nations budget against the amount of tax paid,assuming you had access to how much was spent where by category, it would be a peice of piss to make
Luckily they even do the categorization and calculate percentages for you!
