Taxation Accountant EOIs (ANZSCO 221113)
Taxation Accountant is ANZSCO 221113 in the occupation list SkillSelect uses. This article sets out how many EOIs the published statistics hold for it on subclasses 189 and 190, what those counts do and do not mean, how the pool scores and which jurisdictions nominate it. Every figure here is the August 2026 snapshot; the EOI Insights dashboard plots all 26 months for this occupation, and every card and table below opens it there.
Key terms. SkillSelect is the Australian government’s online system for skilled migration. An Expression of Interest (EOI) is the form you lodge in it, and it is not a visa application. An EOI counted as submitted was still sitting in the pool when the monthly snapshot was taken; one counted as invited was holding an invitation at that moment. ANZSCO is the occupation-code list SkillSelect uses. Every figure on this site counts EOIs rather than people, because one person can lodge more than one.
What a Taxation Accountant does
Taxation accountants prepare returns and advise on tax liability, structuring and compliance under Australian tax law. The distinguishing feature is the body of law: much of the expertise is jurisdiction-specific, which sets it apart from the more portable general accounting code.
ANZSCO is the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations, and SkillSelect uses its six-digit codes to identify jobs. Code 221113 is Taxation Accountant.
Whether that code appears on a current skilled occupation list, which authority assesses it and whether you qualify to claim it are all decided by the Department of Home Affairs. Check the occupation lists and the visa listing rather than this page, because the lists change.
In the EOI statistics
As at August 2026, Taxation Accountant had 2,055 submitted EOIs on subclass 189, up from 1,823 a year earlier in August 2025, about 13%. In the same month the 190 pool held 1,966 — a separate pool, not a figure to add to the first. That is roughly 1.1% of all submitted 189 EOIs that month.
Over three months, since May 2026, it fell by 88 EOIs; over twelve months it is +12.7%. By pool size that puts it #25 among every occupation SkillSelect published that month. Its recorded peak was 2,157, in April 2026.
EOI Insights counts Taxation Accountant EOIs separately for each subclass. With the visa filter locked and the status on submitted, the line shows how many EOIs for this occupation were sitting in that pool in each published month. It rises when more arrive than leave, and falls when invitations, withdrawals and expiry clear more than arrive.
Counts below 20 are not published. This occupation clears that bar on its totals in every published month, so the figures above are exact — but its finer splits, by points or by state, can still fall under the threshold and be shown as labelled estimates.
What Taxation Accountant EOIs score
The published points distribution for Taxation Accountant on subclass 189. The right-hand columns are cumulative from the top, so the row for a score is the size of the field at that score or above. The median is 80 points, and 50.4% of these EOIs sit at 80 or above.
| Points | EOIs at this score | Share | At this score or above | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 40 | 2.0% | 40 | 2.0% |
| 95 | 124 | 6.1% | 164 | 8.1% |

Shares are of the 2,026 EOIs whose score is published; cells under 20 are suppressed at source and are not in the table. None of this is an invitation threshold — SkillSelect has never published one. The points test article explains where the score comes from.
Which jurisdictions nominate Taxation Accountant
Every subclass 190 EOI names the state or territory it wants nomination from, so the Taxation Accountant nominated pool splits cleanly. Subclass 189 has no such field, which is why this table covers 190 only. Nomination criteria are set by each jurisdiction — see Home Affairs — and the table below describes where EOIs are aimed, not who gets nominated.
| Jurisdiction | Submitted 190 EOIs | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Western Australia | 998 | 45.6% |
| New South Wales | 404 | 18.5% |
| Victoria | 328 | 15.0% |
| Queensland | 129 | 5.9% |
| South Australia | 120 | 5.5% |
| Australian Capital Territory | 85 | 3.9% |
| Tasmania | 73 | 3.3% |
| Northern Territory | 50 | 2.3% |

In the dashboard
Occupation Trends opens with Taxation Accountant already selected. This occupation needs an account, so the first button opens the trial view — Accountant (General) on 189 — to show how the chart works. The figure below is a frozen example rather than the current month.
This occupation opens once you sign in. The guest trial covers 189 and 190 for five occupations, so the button above shows how the view works.
Reading these charts
The Occupation Trends guide covers reading the lines: what a rise means, why two subclasses are never plotted together, and how estimated points are marked. This article is about how the occupation appears in the data; the guide is about how to read the chart.
Six dashboard views answer questions this page can only summarise. Occupation Trends plots Taxation Accountant on either subclass across every published month; Monthly Flows turns the same series into net change; Queue by Points draws the score distribution; State × Occupation splits the nominated pool by jurisdiction; Alternatives finds adjacent ANZSCO codes with smaller pools; and Expiry Forecast shows which EOIs are approaching the two-year limit. Open Taxation Accountant in the dashboard and the occupation is already selected.
For applicants
Use these charts to ask how crowded the Taxation Accountant pool is on the subclass you are eligible for, and whether that has been changing. They cannot tell you whether you will be invited, and they do not know your score.
Eligibility, skills assessment and the current occupation lists all sit outside this product, and all of them can change between one snapshot and the next.
For migration professionals
Show the client Occupation Trends locked to ANZSCO 221113, one subclass at a time, and name the status filter out loud.
If the client is comparing adjacent codes, open each one separately rather than reading across a single chart — the pools are not substitutes for one another.
