It wasn't a bloke, it was a company. The family trust wasn't the entity that advertised the job role. Only when I signed the formal contract did I see the family trust named as the legal entity I was working for. I thought it was odd but didn't think too much of it at the time.
They paid me my money and stayed with them about 6 months, so I guess if I was that concerned I should have quit. I would say though that I wasn't ripping off the government and by extension the tax payer, they were. If they were.
Do you remember the big contractor body shop that was ripping off the government to the tune of 165 million dollars by paying no tax on behalf of their employees?
How the alleged $165 million tax scam worked
The AFP allege the scam was a conspiracy to divert money owed to the ATO. It worked like this.
I don't blame the contractors who had their payrolls processed with tax skimmed through them. They thought they were paying their tax. I paid my tax.
Anyway, I've worked for the banks, I've worked for the oil companies, I've worked for the energy retailers. You could argue all of these guys are evil
