Targeting GST compliance

Overview

We have received additional funds to implement the GST voluntary compliance program.

The program focuses on:

  • protecting businesses, taxpayers and the community who are doing the right thing, by detecting and dealing with taxpayers that deliberately avoid their GST obligations
  • enhancing support and education to encourage taxpayers to willingly meet their GST obligations.

We want to make sure that taxpayers willing to do the right thing are not disadvantaged by unfair practices, with everyone paying their fair share of tax.

We are also continuing to expand our ability to identify non-lodgers and detect taxpayers that over-claim entitlements, deliberately under-report or omit income, and use cash transactions to hide income and evade tax obligations.
