How our strategies are making tax evasion easier to track

People may think their financial activities are invisible but the ATO, together with its partner agencies, has the tools, intelligence and expertise to connect unexplained wealth to illegal activities.

This edition explores the strategies we use to deter and detect tax crime. It examines national and international reforms and legislative change taking place to help make tax evaders visible.

Highlights:

• Commissioner's foreword. Chris Jordan highlights why tax evaders are visible to the ATO.
• Global tax reforms. Innovative reforms combating offshore tax evasion.
• Protecting our corporate tax base. Modernisation of Australia's transfer pricing laws.
• Tax evasion - a whole new world. Terry Hayes shares his perspective on the impact of Project Wickenby and tax evasion.
