Luxury vehicles, race cars and high-end motorcycles confiscated from the instigators of the Plutus Payroll tax scandal will be auctioned online as the government seeks to claw back some of the $105 million lost to the fraud.
The auction of 30 cars, bikes, trucks and go-carts will be the first of several as the Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA), which manages confiscated proceeds of crime, offloads the Plutus spoils.
A Porsche Cayenne GTS, a Porsche 911 GT3 and two Wolf GB08 Tornado racing cars are among 30 vehicles confiscated from instigators of the fraud that will be auctioned off.

The Perth District Court has sentenced a woman in High Wycombe, Perth, Western Australia to three years’ imprisonment, with an 18-month non-parole period, for submitting fraudulent applications to obtain the early release of Australian superannuation benefits amounting to over $202,000.
“This outcome sends a clear message to the community that we do bring those who exploit the tax and super system to account, particularly those who encourage and then benefit from others committing offences,” said John Ford, SFCT chief and ATO deputy commissioner, in the media release.
The AFP’s investigation found that the woman allegedly:
- created and submitted 30 false severe financial hardship claims from April 2019 to April 2020 for herself and for 24 others to access superannuation payments of $10,000 each
