Eye on Politics & Law Lords: Big end of town caught in tax raids
Raids on 85 homes and offices in four states have netted the big end of town and crushed a $300 million tax fraud scheme. Wealthy, high-profile Australians have been raided in their homes, and files and computer records seized from their tax advisers, in an unprecedented combined operation by the Australian Crime Commission, the Tax Office and the Australian Federal Police
The Crime Commission said in some cases deductions were claimed for payments for fictitious expenses and services, while in others, income derived overseas was not accounted for in Australia. The Tax Office said the income was secretly returned to Australia disguised as a loan, an inheritance, a gift, or through credit and debit cards
