In 1994 the Treasury Department underwent a major reorganisation. The previously semiautonomous Taxation Branch (State Revenue Office) was administratively integrated within Treasury. Within the newly created Revenue & Gaming Division the Revenue Operations Branch and the Revenue Compliance Branch were formed. By June 2000 these had been renamed Revenue Services and Revenue Support respectively. In April of that year the Division took on administrative responsibility of the Licensing Branch. ;;;;The role of the Revenue Support Branch was to interpret State taxation legislation and provide advice; coordinate taxpayer education programs; coordinate the collection and provision of management information; oversee quality assurance and information management activities; distribute revenue rulings and guidelines; and;;manage formal objections and appeals.;;;;The term State Revenue Office has continued to be used since the 1980's despite this not appearing in any of the Department's Annual Reports.;;;;The Branch was merged by administrative action into the new Revenue Branch along with the Revenue Services Branch at the beginning of the 2002-03 financial year.
