ATO to crack down on ID fraud.

Australasian Business Intelligence, September, 2005

Sep 08, 2005 (Privacy Alert - ABIX via COMTEX) -- The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) discusses identity fraud in its annual report. The ATO claims in the report that according to conservative estimates, ID fraud featured in 30 per cent of the tax evasion

cases investigated in 2004-05, up from 14 per cent in 2003-04. The agency is to make an extra effort to combat ID fraud. It is noted in the report that ID-related crime can occur quickly and is hard to trace. Michael Carmody, the Tax Commission, says that data- matching technology will be employed to assist in identifying tax avoiders.
