Aliens Rob Hand That Feeds Them
CANBERRA. This Day
To stop taxation frauds by some aliens and refugees, taxation officials recently combed the foreign communities, reaping rich harvests for the Commonwealth.
The amounts collected were so staggering that the Federal Treasurer (Mr. Chifley) decided to strengthen the investigation branch of the taxation department. Investigations showed that some aliens operate only in cash, which enables them to dispense with revealing documents. Certain firms, controlled by foreigners, used as many as five languages in compiling their accounts. Refugees, on arrival in Australia, often with staggering amounts in liquid assets, invest their money and then fail to furnish returns. The Taxation Department is roping in certain aliens who, while they seek refuge in Australia, refuse to pay their lawful taxation to the country that is protecting them.
