Trade union United Voice and the Tax Justice Network have issued a new study on the tax paid by the 200 largest listed companies in Australia. "Who Pays for Our Common Wealth?" shows that 84% of these groups pay below the supposed rate of 30%, and close to a third pay less than 10%. Tax havens are used by nearly 60% of the corporations, via subsidiaries. However Corporate Tax Association CEO Frank Drenth disputes the analysis
