Tax Office aims for 'easy targets'

A recent conversation with a reliable source has netted information in this post regarding the 'business' practices of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

As with any businesses there is a 'quota' (dollar value) that has to be adhered to and brought in by the employee.
This IS also true of

• Parking Inspectors
• Metropolitan Transit Inspectors
• Police

Naturally 'unwritten' instructions given to staff at the ATO is to target 'easy customers' in order to recoup financial losses the Tax Department misses out from businesses.

These easy customers are the 'general public', and are targeted for their probable path of being less likely to offer resistance.

The government goes on these 'blitzes' and singles out groups or individuals, that have NOT conformed to the Taxation Laws, DELIBERATELY omitting corporations.

In business, companies that committed Taxation Fraud in which the Tax Department cannot recoup the loss HAS to be supplemented by the 'general public'.

The general media, which is under strict fabrication of knowledge seldom report company fraud, to which the laws support the criminals 'getting' away with it.

There is generally a blanket media ban on the politics 'behind' closed doors or the effects and policies arising.

Examples of corporate fraud where they 'get away' with it are:

Richard Pratt :- fined 5% of the Total figure of the alleged fraud.
Rene Rivkin :- $0 fined for fraud
Eugene Kukuy :- (alias Henry Kaye) :- case dismissed.

The difference is that these people evade tax (criminal offense) WITH the help of lawyers, politicians and other high business people, where the SAME crime committed by a member of the general public nets a criminal conviction.
