Published on 27 Jul 06 by NATIONAL EVENTS, TAXATION INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA

It is well known that the income tax legislation contains extensive provisions preventing taxpayers from avoiding and minimising tax liability; those provisions have been the subject of extensive and rigorous examination by the Courts and commentators. The taxation legislation of the States and Territories contain anti-avoidance provisions but these have rarely been examined judicially or been the subject of professional discussion. This paper:

  • provides an overview of some of the relevant State and Territory laws
  • examines a number of cases that have interpreted those provisions
  • comments on the recent amendments.
