Finance and Revenue
Minister Sir William Birch today announced a proposed
amendment to close down, with effect from today, a
tax-driven structure involving films.
The Minister made a submission today to the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee to have the amendment included in the Taxation (Annual Rates and Remedial Matters) Bill, which is currently before the committee.
The submission asks the Committee to ensure that taxpayers have the opportunity to make submissions to the Committee on the amendment.
The Minister said the Government wanted
to send a strong message to the people involved in such
tax-driven structures that it will not allow deals of that
kind to erode the tax base at the expense of the rest of the
community.
