“Family trust blitz threatens ‘financial ruin’ as #ATO goes back decades:

#Wealthy families are being hit with huge bills for #unpaid #taxes and #penalties as the Australian Taxation Office uses sweeping #powers to #investigate taxes on family trust distributions dating back more than 30 years. …

The crackdown is associated with what are known as #FamilyTrust elections and the payment of family trust distributions tax dating back to 1998, when the tax was first introduced to combat #TaxAvoidance schemes.”

I cannot believe 🥔🤓 hasn’t mentioned and weaponised this ATO action. A tax policy might have uncovered this?

Labour move closer to a surveillance state

Provided that is you are poor. The effort spent on recovering large scale fraud, tax evasion and loophole for tax avoidance and slurping tax payers money overseas by the rich and the multinationals is ignored.

While companies should pay a fair price to use Australian resources such as minerals, household and individual purchasing power, workforce, education and intellectual property it is wrong to think that company taxes fund Australian government expenditure.

The federal government funds Australia through its creation of fiat currency. The federal government invests less or more through budget deficits and surpluses.

"Whistleblowers who inform #HMRC about tax-dodging will get a cut of any money collected as a result, the government confirmed, as Rachel Reeves announced plans to raise an extra £1bn a year by closing the “tax gap”. Reeves vowed to collect £6.5bn a year by cracking down on #TaxAvoidance, which is legal, and #TaxEvasion, which isn’t."

"#Labour hopes to boost the public coffers by billions of pounds with its crackdown on #TaxAvoidance and #TaxEvasion. But prosecutions of the enablers of tax evasion have plummeted by at least 75% in the past five years, with fewer than five criminal cases in 2023-2024."

“These guys have, both at the corporate level and at the individual level, been even better at avoiding taxes than in making good products,” Stiglitz said. “The level of taxes they pay as a share of their profits should be an embarrassment to them.” The 24 superbillionares declined to comment or didn’t respond to requests for comment.

"Keir Starmer’s Government is facing criticism over its opposition to a United Nations tax reform plan aimed at tackling global tax avoidance, as formal negotiations resumed on Monday in New York. The convention, spearheaded by 54 African nations, has garnered support from 125 UN member states but faces resistance from nine countries, including the UK, US, and Japan."
