Govt clamps down on financial crime
The Government is establishing a taskforce to fight against superannuation and investment fraud, identity crime, and tax evasion, it announced today.
It will provide $127.6 million over four years to aid financial investigations and prosecutions, and build on work done by Project Wickenby - a cross agency task force fighting against tax evasion, avoidance, and crime - that finishes this year. The Government said the taskforce will also help ensure all taxpayers pay their fair share of tax.
Project Wickenby has raised over $2.1 billion in liabilities and has increased tax collections from improved compliance behaviour following interventions.
To date, 76 individuals have been charged with serious offences and there have been 44 criminal convictions.
The Serious Financial Crime Taskforce includes the Australian Taxation Office, Australian Crime Commission, Australian Federal Police, Attorney-General's Department, Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre, Australian Securities and Investments Commission, Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions, and Australian Customs and Border Protection Services.
