74: Publication of names of tax evaders

You could also call this:

"Names of people who didn't pay taxes used to be made public."

Illustration for Goods and Services Tax Act 1985

The law used to say that the names of people who did not pay their taxes could be made public. You would have seen the names of tax evaders published, but this law is no longer in effect. It was repealed, which means it was cancelled, on 26 July 1996, by section 19(1) of the Goods and Services Tax Amendment Act 1996.
