Almost 800 companies paid no tax in 2020-21, Australian Taxation Office report reveals

The companies being audited fell across different industries, she said, but the ATO had specialist teams to deal with energy and resources sectors, particularly oil and gas companies, and in hard rock mining.However, Ms Saint said, the ATO was still seeing some companies attempting to shift income into low-tax jurisdictions.

Ms Saint said that, post the Chevron tax win, the ATO had been able to eliminate more than $40 billion of debt deductions from the system. It allows the ATO to hit companies it deems to be engaging in "contrived arrangements" with a 40 per cent tax on all profits.The first Diverted Profits Tax case has been raised against PepsiCo, which is appealing the assessments in court.

"Once a taxpayer receives a DPT assessment, they have 12 months [in] which they can make a submission to our general anti avoidance panel, and they can contest … as part of that process," Ms Saint said.

Looks like 800 companies didn't make a profit then.

Why do *I* pay more tax than BHP, Glencore, Bluescope Steel, Alcoa, Woodside, Transurban, Santos, AGL, RACQ, Holcim, Elders, Wilson Parking, Downer, Penguin Random House, SAP, Citrix...to name just a few. Seriously, tax the multinationals WAY MORE

So JEChalmers ALeighMP these poor people, unable to make a profit! When is it time for you to do them a favour and take these stranded assets off their hands? If they make nothing then surely they're worth nothing and you can nationalise them for free?

Change law. Back pay. Fine.

Or another way to interpret the facts: That’s stage 3 tax cuts paid for….

Click the article Click on the “journalists” name You can see her recent work…. - it’s largely business bashing Click her Twitter link… it’s all about Iran. Nothing about business. This is the National Broadcasters “business and economics” journalist. The ABC are garbage

So what? If they made a profit and didn't pay tax the ATO will chase it up. The article also mentions over 1600 companies did pay tax, thanks to those companies. 👍

Are these the same ones that paid no to very little the years before How much extraction in cash & or kind was involved.

Creative accountancy?

Be nice if families could consider their wage income same as business'. How about we claim the cost of electricity,rates,car depreciation and repairs,petrol for getting to work etc.But then the Tax collection business would collapse.

Maybe AlboMP will come through for them with the stage 3 tax cuts to help the poor buggers out.

You didn't name them all. How many are Solar/wind energy producers, or heavily invested into Solar/Wind energy? Be honest when casting the brush...

Did they break any laws

So, companies followed the Tax code and due to no profits or carried foward losees they did not have a tax liability in 2020-21. What is the point of this article?

But every peasant did! Fair?

But we have to consider the impact of these industrial laws on companies and business. They don’t consider the worker when raking in multimillion $ profits.
