Mr Killaly has a nice anecdote about his view of the Australian Tax Office's role: "You've got to be like a blue heeler constantly going after a creature that's got a mind of its own,and it's big and strong."

    Formerly a Deputy Commissioner in the Large Business and International area of the ATO I have had extensive experience over 46 years in taxation rulings, sttrategic  (sic) litigation, policy and legislation, audits of major multinatonal groups and in leadership and technical capability development.  I was directly involved in a number of major tax reform exercises over those years.  I have been Australia's representative on various OECD working parties over the years, including on treaties, transfer pricing and tax administration and was for some years Australia's lead representative at the OECD Committee on Fiscal Affairs.  I led the negotiation of a number of Australia's tax treaties, including those with the US and the UK.  I was attached to the OECD for the period June 2012 to June 2014 on a range of strategic projects related to international tax planning, regional cooperation and the development and delivery of an extensive case-based training program on transfer pricing risks in the extractive industries. I was awarded the Public Service Medal in January 2005 for the development of a comprehensive and sustainable taxation compliance framework for large business and enhanced international taxation treaty arrangements. 

    I am currently a visiting fellow at the Crawford School on Public Policy....



    Explaining the swap scheme to Four Corners, former deputy commissioner of the Australian Tax Office Jim Killaly said: “If they’re different subsidiaries within the same group, the swap can actually be financially engineered so that the loss appears in whatever country you want it to, and the corresponding profit appears in whatever country you want that to land in.
    “It’s like they’ve taken money out of one pocket and put it into the other pocket. They’ve still got the money, but they haven’t paid tax.”
    The ATO has so far taken action against 19 companies over cross-currency interest rate swap schemes. The ATO has also issued 21 formal notices to Australian accountants and, asking if they helped implement the tax-avoidance
    schemes.
    “We know and trust that most people do the right thing, and that many taxpayers identified as part of the leak will be meeting their Australian tax
    obligations,” the ATO’s deputy commissioner international Mark Konza said in a statement on Monday.

    “However, we investigate all leads and have the resources and expertise to take action against taxpayers or intermediaries found to be caught up in the illegal use of offshore structures or providers.”

     ATO officials have spent months working with partner agencies in Australia and overseas ahead of the release of the Paradise Papers in an attempt to identify possible tax avoidance.

    “We anticipate further data may be published by the ICIJ and the ATO will continue to work closely with other tax administrations to share intelligence on advisers operating globally,” Mr Konza said
