What did we learn?
Australia’s tax office was already embroiled in a major operation against suspected tax evaders. The
Panama Papers revealed that many of them had offshore companies managed by Mossack Fonseca. They included Philip de Figueiredo, partner at an accounting firm based in the Channel Islands, who was jailed for two years for running a massive tax evasion scheme. Another partner, Philip Egglishaw, is under investigation, with an Interpol red notice issued for his arrest.
What happened next?
The tax office said it was investigating more than 800 wealthy clients of Mossack Fonseca. The figure included 120 people linked to an associate offshore provider in Hong Kong. The revelations caused widespread indignation. The Labor opposition said not enough had been done to tackle tax abuses by individuals. The government said it had introduced significant measures, adding: “
Nothing makes Australians angrier than having to pay more tax because someone is avoiding tax.”
