Sydneyman charged with dealing with proceeds from a $3 million fraud on the ATO
A Serious Financial Crime Taskforce (SFCT)
investigation into a $3 million dollar fraud against the Australian Tax Office
(ATO) has yesterday (Thursday 18 March, 2021) led to the arrest of a
37-year-old Sydney man.
ATO deputy commissioner and SFCT chief Will Day said the case demonstrated the ability of the SFCT to deliver a whole-of-government response to target criminal behaviour.
“This case should send a clear message to would-be criminals that we will find them – quickly, decisively and thoroughly – and we will bring them to account for their actions,” Mr Day said.
“We have robust systems in place that stop this sort of crime, and the combined intelligence and force of 10 Government departments and agencies.”

About 1.30pm, a man showed up on the woman’s doorstep.
She managed to take a photo of him before handing over the money.
The woman reported the incident to local police. On Friday, detectives arrested a 21-year-old man at Maroubra Police Station.

CRA to lock out 800K taxpayers from online accounts Saturday
The CRA’s move, which was first announced by the agency on Friday, comes nearly a month after an unspecified number of accounts were locked after an internal investigation found that some user accounts and passwords were compromised.
The account lockdown also comes just ahead of the impending tax season in Canada, with the CRA’s filing deadline this year set at April 30 for most people and later in the summer for the self-employed.
Canadians were not amused after trying to access their online profiles, but instead getting notified that their account was locked — with some even adding that it took them a two hour phone call to regain access.
“If you told me last year that CANADA REVENUE AGENCY WOULD LOCK ME OUT OF MY ACCOUNT … i would’ve bet my tax return on it,” wrote one user on Twitter.
