GST Compliance Program — funding for the Tax Office
The Government states that it will provide $337.5 million over four years (from the 2010/11 to the 2013/14 income years) to the Tax Office to fund additional activities that will promote voluntary GST compliance and provide a level playing field for Australian businesses.
The Government also states that the funding will address issues relating to:
- fraudulent GST refunds;
- systematic under-reporting of GST liabilities;
- non-lodgment of GST returns; and
- non-payment of GST debts.
