ATO targets tax cheats

The Australian Taxation Office continued to shine a spotlight on tax cheats during tax time: stopping over 70,000 possibly fraudulent refund cheques worth over $220 million since 1 July.


"If you try and cheat the system - it is not a matter if we will find you, but when," Tax Commissioner Michael D'Ascenzo said.


"We are constantly increasing our sophisticated technical and relationship networks to close the net on those doing the wrong thing.


"Tax funds the lifestyle we enjoy in Australia, including vital community and government services.


"Those who do the wrong thing burden the vast majority of the community who do the right thing and fulfil their civic and legal responsibilities.


"As a reminder of our vigilant stance on tax crime at all levels, I am pleased to also announce the latest issue of our free e-magazine Targeting Tax Crime.

"This issue includes a range of articles and interviews about our whole of government approach to fighting tax crime and I encourage you to have a read."


You can download the latest issue of
Targeting Tax Crime. The latest issue includes articles on various topics including the cash economy, Project Wickenby and the international fight against tax evasion and avoidance.
