ATO Supports Staff After Queensland Findings
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has reassured its investigations staff that it supports them in potentially high-profile or controversial prosecutions over tax fraud.
This follows a Queensland Supreme Court decision that criticized the ATO's handling of a case against a therapeutics entrepreneur, Julie Clarke.
The court stayed a prosecution mounted by the ATO, citing misconduct by an ATO officer in gathering evidence.
Justice Paul Smith's decision on October 3 identified several ATO officers, but their names have not been disclosed as the ATO may still appeal.
- The case, The King vs Julie Clarke, dates back to 2019.
- The ATO's fraud squad has been told to improve its practices.
