Govt orders probe into Muslim tax cheating claims
Federal Assistant Treasurer Peter Dutton has asked the Tax Commissioner to investigate reports that some hardline Muslim clerics are encouraging people to cheat the tax system.
A newspaper report today suggests some extremist clerics are advocating tax avoidance because they say paying tax is contrary to Islamic law.
Mr Dutton says anyone with information should call the Australian Taxation Office.
"I've written to the Commissioner of Taxation asking for him to have a look at the matter," he said.
"I'd call on anybody in the Australian community that has information in relation to people evading their tax or advocating that people should evade their tax to call the tax office to provide them with as much information as possible."
