The Australian Tax Office’s Second Commissioner, Jeremy Hirschhorn, has revealed the agency is still owed several hundreds of millions of dollars from Jobkeeper recipient companies that were declared ineligible, were overpaid, or attempted to rort the payments.
Since Jobkeeper’s inception, over $80 billion in payments have been made.
The Serious Financial Crime Taskforce is currently overseeing five JobKeeper related cases, with two more such cases under consideration for acceptance.
