Tax Branch

The Tax Branches in each of the larger Regional Offices contain specialised lawyers who conduct all prosecutions arising from taxation fraud other than minor regulatory offences which are handled by the Australian Taxation Office’s In-House Prosecution Section. The work in this area includes prosecuting offences arising from tax minimisation schemes and fraud relating to income tax and the Goods and Services Tax. In addition, the lawyers in the Tax Branches also have the responsibility for prosecuting money laundering offences contained in Chapter 10 of the Criminal Code Act 1995.
