Updated Information on the Validity of the ATO

Does the ATO Really Exist?

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) Cannot Furnish Legal Files for its Creation!

Q: Is the ATO operating legally?

A: Going by the Australian Constitution and the following letter from the ATO, the answer is “No!”

Communication Tip!

We never talk directly to the ATO or any other GovCorp organization. As soon as you accept a phone call or answer an email from them they have contracted with you. They are recording everything you say so that they can use it in evidence if they ever manage to get you into a court. But that is unlikely to happen if you write to the ATO and ask them these simple questions:

1. What is the legal definition of income according to the Taxation Act
2. In which Hansard of 1973 would I find the creation of the Australian Taxation office?
3. Where in the ATO act will I find reference to the Australian taxation office?
4. Is the ato a legal entity that can sue and be sued?

We have asked these questions already and they cannot answer them. That means they have accepted that they are a FRAUD!

Here is an Affidavit by Anthony Wallace, an officer within the ATO, Australia that proves the Fraud!

This is how the ATO operates:

AUSTRALIA TAXATION OFFICE (ATO)
Division 165 – Anti-avoidance

The wording below is taken from the Australian Tax Office Goods and Services Tax Act 1999, Chapter 4 – The special rules.

When you first read and comprehend what are the ramifications of this wording, you
would expect that it applies to a Country under a Tyrant or a Dictator.

Even though you would initially believe that this has to be a joke, it should not
surprise us coming from a Government Department that has NO lawful authority.

These fools just make up the rules as they go along – Ask yourself what chance
would you have to fight them in an invalid and corrupt Court of Law in Australia??

The ATO is the Australian Gestapo !!

For the purposes of making a declaration under this Subdivision, the
Commissioner may:

(a) treat a particular event that actually happened as not having happened; and

(b) treat a particular event that did not actually happen as having happened and, if
appropriate, treat the event as:

v (i) having happened at a particular time; and

v (ii) having involved particular action by a particular entity; and

(c) treat a particular event that actually happened as:

v (i) having happened at a time different from the time it actually happened; or

v (ii) having involved particular action by a particular entity (whether or not the
event actually involved any action by that entity).
