if they don't want to morally be Australian, then make it physically so.... for residents, put they're citizenship on a suspended cancellation.

it is high time that white collar criminals, spent their due time in jail, for deliberately breaking our financial & investment laws. directors, board members, financial advisors, solicitors, etc.

............ stop protrecting these white collar thugs, who cheat Australia's revenues, & also cheat innocent Australians, & at times take our most vulnerable people of their life savings.

Senate aims to out tax dodgers with register of offending corporates

Tax-dodging companies would be named and shamed under landmark transparency measures proposed by a Senate committee investigating multibillion-dollar corporate tax avoidance.

Along with maintaining a name and shame register, the Australian Tax Office would be forced to disclose all tax avoidance settlements above a certain level – likely to be $100 million. Currently, suspect companies are afforded privacy.

And all companies, whether they are domiciled in Australia or high-risk multinational players such as Apple, Google, oil giant Chevron and the bulk of the pharmaceutical industry, would be required to make annual disclosures of the tax paid, their Australian revenues and tax deductions and other government write-offs taken.

The inquiry, chaired by Labor Senator Sam Dastyari​, will table its first report in Parliament on Monday.

Fairfax Media understands it will make 18 recommendations, including the new transparency requirements and four specific measures requested by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

One of these would allow ASIC to pass intelligence on suspect tax matters to the ATO without the current legal requirement to inform the company in its sights.

The corporate tax avoidance inquiry was established in October in response to a Fairfax Media report that revealed a third of Australia's largest companies pay less than 10¢ in the dollar in tax compared to the 30 per cent corporate tax rate. The tax foregone in the decade to 2013 was $80 billion.

But it was the appearance of Google, Microsoft and Apple in front of the committee that drove home how "simple" tax minimisation was for multinationals operating in Australia, according to senators. Apple, for example, paid just $80 million in tax in Australian on sales of $6 billion.

On Saturday, Senator Dastyari said: "There is a major flaw in our tax system that is enabling some of the biggest companies in the world to evade billions in tax that should be paid in Australia. It's time we name and shame our worst tax dodgers."

Senator Nick Xenophon believes the committee's report, which was being considered by the government over the weekend, will provide a "template" to fight back.

"After this report is handed down, no government will again be able to turn a blind eye to the bleeding obvious that the way we have tackled aggressive tax minimisation in the past has been woefully inadequate.

Successive Australian governments have been hoodwinked by some companies," he said.

{ my personal comment > } .... now Joe, just who are "the Lean ers", now ????

Government sources said there was significant bipartisanship on transparency, but a dissenting report to the committee's report will argue against some recommendations that could lead to "duplication" of measures already proposed to combat tax avoidance.

The government will push back at the committee's failure to acknowledge its work towards a global crackdown on "base erosion and profit shifting".

The government was due to submit dissenting comments by Friday, but was considering its position on Saturday.

There is some nervousness in Coalition ranks, about a tax evasion investigation to be aired by Channel Seven's high-rating Sunday Night program.

Treasurer Joe Hockey flagged and then retreated from imposing a diverted profits tax like Britain's "Google tax" but promised action in this year's budget. A bill for Mr Hockey's multinational anti-avoidance law, aimed at 30 companies, will be introduced soon.

Christine Milne, the former Greens leader who has left Parliament but was sent a copy of the committee's report, said she "felt sick" when business groups and members of the government talk up the need for GST reform, but ignore the billions of dollars being lost to the corporate sector in foregone tax.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
