Australians dobbed on suspected tax dodgers 60,000 times this financial year, a new record ahead of the launch of an integrity unit to target cheaters.

"Honest businesses and consumers have had enough — they've decided to take action," said Australian Taxation Office assistant commissioner Peter Holt.

Public reports of suspected tax avoidance rose 42 per cent between July 2018 and May 2019 and Australia is on track for 70,000 tip-offs to happen during the 2019 financial year.

The news comes after two years of action on black economy activities and ahead of a new national tax integrity centre, including a one-stop shop tip-off line, launching on July 1.
