TPB refines focus on high risk tax practitioners |
| Public Accountant by Maja Garaca Djurdjevic Speaking in a Reuters webinar, CEO of the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) Michael O’Neill said the regulator is clamping down on high-risk tax practitioners as it moves to better regulate the profession on the back of the findings of the Royal Commission into Misconduct in Banking and Financial Services. He explained that the TPB is currently engaged in differentiating between agents who are trying to do the right thing, but occasionally stumble, and those high-risk practitioners that are knowingly reckless. Last year, the TPB terminated 75 practitioners, compared to 24 a year earlier. However, with the TPB’s stricter compliance approach, terminations have hit 79 this year. |

2017 Tax Law Cost Artists Because They Lost Expense Deductions. Now They Want It Changed
In the past, many actors would list these expenses as miscellaneous itemized deductions on their taxes.

In this month’s episode of Tax Injustice we speak
to Gabriel
Zucman about his new book with co-author Emmanuel
Saez – The Triumph
of Injustice: How the Rich Dodge Taxes and How to Make Them Pay.
Plus, as Extinction Rebellion
holds protests around the world over the climate emergency, we point the finger
at the surprisingly small number of companies which determine whether
investment will go into a better future, or onto a continued path of destruction.
How can tax justice and a different vision of growth lead us back from the
brink?
Also featuring John
Christensen of the Tax Justice Network. Produced and presented by Naomi Fowler.
"So
many people have become convinced that with globalisation and modern technology
it has become very hard or impossible to tax the rich, to tax big multinational
companies. And what we want to say is that this is wrong. The choice is ours
when it comes to the future of tax justice, if there is a political will, there
is a bright future for tax justice"
