The Australian Taxation Office’s win against oil and gas giant Chevron may be the start of something, if the government wants to act.
After a long court battle Chevron lost its appeal and was ordered to pay the ATO A$300 million. Now new modelling from accounting experts shows the government could have recouped billions more in tax and royalties from the company, if it had addressed the multinational tax avoidance techniques Chevron was using earlier.
But these experts argue that by reforming another tax, the government might still have a chance to ensure Australia receives full dues from the corporations tapping Australian resources.
