Paul Hogan claims charade of tax office collusion

Read More ]"/> Paul Hogan claimed the Australian Tax Office illegally accessed confidential documents concerning his tax affairs.

The Crocodile Dundee star continued in his allegation against the ATO to say it applied offical rules retrospectively to achieve a “veneer of respectability”.

The claims amounted to saying the tax office carried out a charade of an audit in which the tax commissioner colluded with tax office staff.

Hogan, his longtime associate, the US-based John Cornell and their financial adviser, Tony Stewart, stand accused of funnelling tens of millions of dollars to off-shore havens.

An ATO lawyer, Jeffrey Hilton, SC, told the Federal Court that the three had taken action against the Tax Office ”to stop [it] from doing its job forever”.

Hilton called Hogan’s attempts to have the court stop the probe excessive and labelled parts of his case “bizarre and baseless”.
