This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

The request was successful.

Dear Australian Taxation Office,

In Scott Morrison's recent address to the Australian Business Economists group he explained that there is a "special dedicated taskforce" estabished by to investigate the tax paid by multinational comanies. This, I understand, is reaping results! Well done!
 

My query is how large is your taskforce, how many individuals are part of the "special dedicated taskforce" team quoted by Mr Morrison.

Yours faithfully,

Graeme Smith
