It's not really a "scam" it's just tax fraud.
Nobody is checking.
Honestly, do a db search for refunds > $100k, ask those tax payers for invoices for their three biggest claims.
A team of one person using this method could have reviewed several dozen of these a day.
it (ATO) also downgraded its assessment of external fraud risks from "severe" to "low" two months before the scam took off in mid-2021.
I can guarantee I know how this happened. Some pube thought they needed to remove all ‘severe’ risks from a risk register and made some idiotic claims that no one dared speak out against.
