[av_toggle title=’$1bn ATO ‘sugar hit’ to tackle large corporates and high net wealth individuals’ tags=”]
| Date of effect | From 2019-20 |
The Government will provide $1bn over four years from 2019-20, including $6.5 million in capital funding, to the ATO to extend the operation of the Tax Avoidance Taskforce and to expand the Taskforce’s programs and market coverage. For this, the ATO is expected to produce a $3.6bn budget gain.
Tax avoidance schemes and strategies are the focus of this funding.

[av_toggle title=’Recovering unpaid tax and superannuation liabilities’ tags=”]
An additional $42m has been provided to the ATO to recover unpaid tax and superannuation liabilities focussed on larger businesses and high wealth individuals. The measure is expected to create a budget gain of $103.6m.

[av_toggle title=’$607m to follow through on response to Banking Royal Commission ‘ tags=”]
$606.7m will be spent over 5 years to follow through on the Government’s response to the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry. This includes:
- An industry funded compensation scheme of last resort for consumers and small business
- Additional funding for the Australian Financial Complaints Authority to establish a historical redress scheme for financial complaints dating back to 1 January 2008.
- Paying compensation owed to consumers and small businesses from legacy unpaid external dispute resolution determinations
- Additional funding for ASIC to implement its new enforcement strategy and expand its capabilities
- Additional funding for the APRA to strengthen its supervisory and enforcement activities and to fund a capability review of APRA
- Establishment of an independent financial regulator oversight authority
- Establishment of a Financial Services Reform Implementation Taskforce
These measures are partially offset by revenue received through ASIC’s industry funding model and increases in the APRA Financial Institutions Supervisory Levies.

[av_toggle title=’Sham contracting unit established’ tags=”]
A new dedicated sham contracting unit will be created within the Fair Work Ombudsman.

[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Registration scheme for Labour Hire operators ‘ tags=”]
As previously announced, a National Labour Hire Registration Scheme will be established to protect vulnerable workers, including migrant workers. The Scheme will make it mandatory for labour hire operators in high risk sectors, such as horticulture, cleaning, meat processing and security sectors, to register with the Australian Government as a labour hire operator. Annual fees and charges to participate in the Scheme are anticipated to cover the cost.
