The Australian Taxation Office estimated in February 2017 that goods and services tax fraud by gold traders had cost the federal government around $A700m in revenue. However, ATO deputy commissioner Timothy Dyce has told a Senate committee that the forgone revenue may now be almost $A1bn. He added that legislation enacted in April 2017 has closed the loophole which enabled gold traders to avoid GST liability.
