The Australian Taxation Office has issued a stern warning today, in preparation for a slew of dodgy returns in the coming weeks.

The body still recovering from the whole fraud thing with the Cranston’s a couple of years ago, explained that this year they’ll be making sure to recoup the lost tax dollars this country deserves.

Not by insuring compliance in regards to large multinational companies who avoid paying any tax through exploiting complex loopholes, or simply compile fraudulent large scale returns, but by making sure small business owners don’t lie about a 100 bucks worth of dry cleaning they might not have receipts for.

“We are getting serious this year,” explained a spokesperson for the ATO Beau Ra-Crat.

“Not by doing our best to prevent large multinational companies practicing in Australia filing return after return making a loss, but by making sure the average person pays their fair share.”

“The large companies who compiled multiple years of losses but somehow manage to stay afloat do it tough, and they create wealth. So everyone whining about them paying no tax should be thankful for the benefit they provide to the community by doing their best to create monopolies and exploit workers as much as they possibly can in an effort to pay their board huge salaries and some half decent dividends.”

The Tax Office confirmed they would also be cracking down on internet and phone bill claims, transport claims, and catering claims as well as the above mentioned dry cleaning returns.

“This country has lifters, and leaners and the small businesses who work around the clock and often go under within the first year need to do a bit more leaning to help out the guys paying zero tax whatsoever.”
