GPs earning less than a third of ENT surgeons, according to ATO statistics
ENT surgeons followed closely by urologists and neurosurgeons generated the most taxable income.
GPs’ taxable income is less than one-third of that earned by ENT surgeons, according to the latest Australian Taxation Office figures.
The median GP income was $150,989 in 2020-21, compared to $508,044 for otorhinolaryngologists.
It is important to stress that the ATO figures are based on annual tax returns and will include all doctors in each specialty working part-time.
But they do show the median GP income increased by $7000 from the previous year.
