IntroductionTaxation can be considered one of the main factors that contribute to increasing a country's income. Even in Australia, taxes are paid not only by the local state, but also by the federal governments. It can be paid individually or as a company. Even though the tax procedure brings many benefits to the state, people and companies are not willing to pay, because it is not beneficial to their profit. They are the people who have to pay personal income taxes, capital gains taxes, goods and services taxes, property taxes, departure taxes, excise taxes, customs duties taxes and payroll taxes, etc. . for the benefit of their state. In such a situation, controlling tax fraud is a determinable problem. To address these types of issues, the Australian Government established the "Australian Taxation Office" (ATO).
