Tell your MP: crack down on corporate tax dodgers!
Right now, the government is pushing for the poor, the sick and the elderly to pick up the budget bill, while corporate tax dodgers get off scott-free. Does that seem fair to you?
Corporate tax dodging is costing Australian taxpayers billions of dollars — money that could be funding our hospitals, universities and social safety net.
In a matter of days, 40,000 of us signed a petition asking Joe Hockey to ensure corporate tax dodgers pay their fair share of tax — and the pressure is working. The Treasurer has started talking tough on corporate tax evasion, comparing tax cheats to thieves and making commitments to crack down.
But while the talk is tough, the Government has slashed the ATO budget, hamstringing their ability to go after the worst corporate tax cheats. So the Government needs to feel the heat from another direction — straight from voters to their MPs and senators, to let them know that talk is cheap, and we want action.
