The ATO figures show that almost a third of large companies, including fossil fuel, gambling and airline corporations, paid no corporate tax at all in the 2023-24 financial year. Greens Economic Justice Spokesperson Senator Nick McKim said the numbers are proof the system has been totally corrupted. “Almost one in three big corporations paid nothing.
That’s an economy-wide rip off,” Senator McKim said. “Corporations that are wrecking the climate, destroying nature and sucking profits out of our communities are dodging tax which leaves working Australians to make up the difference.” “You know the system is cooked when people going to work every day as nurses, cleaners or plumbers are paying more tax than nearly a third of big corporations.” “Working people don’t get the option of skipping their tax bill.
But big corporations keep buying their way out of it, and Labor and the Liberals keep letting them.” “The Greens will keep fighting to make big corporations and billionaires pay their fair share so we can fund housing, health, education and the services people rely on.” Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
