Tax Laws Amendment (Public Benefit Test) Bill 2010 | September 2010
The Senate Committee Inquiry into the Tax Laws Amendment (Public Benefit Test) Bill 2010 has handed down its final report. The Senate inquiry heard from a number of former members of the Church of Scientology, some of whom appeared in the Four Corners report, which aired in March of this year.
The Committee's main recommendations are:
- the establishment of an independent Charities Commission;
- public benefit test for not-for-profit entities;
- review of cults beyond taxation law;
- working with Miviludes, a French government agency, and other international enforcement agencies tasked with monitoring cult-like organisations that use psychological pressure and breaches of general and industrial law to maintain control over individuals.
