Show Us the Money: A Global Investigation
It’s estimated a massive $380 billion generated by companies operating in Australia escapes taxation here every year, through opportunistic and exploitative practices that seriously deprive everyday taxpayers of better schools, hospitals and roads. It also means state and federal governments have to look to measures like increasing the GST to pay for services. Why should they? Why don’t they crack down on the giant tax avoiders? A team at Sunday Night has spent the last four months tracking and investigating the complex global web of epic tax avoidance by the biggest multinationals based in Australia and overseas.

Who are these companies and how do they get away with it? This story spans five countries across the world including Australia, and includes documents obtained by Sunday Night which will shock many Australians.
