Fraud, evasion and the long arm of the Commissioner: inside Kirtlan v Commissioner of Taxation

In this episode, Fletch and Sarah tackle one of the most loaded words in tax — evasion. They break down the differences between tax evasion and tax avoidance, and how these concepts often play out in audits, objections, and litigation. Sarah shares her insider view in Kirtlan v Commissioner of Taxation, while Fletch dusts off the century-old Denver Chemical Manufacturing case, which still shapes how we think about tax evasion today.
