Join us for an important discussion with the Inspector-General of Taxation and Taxation Ombudsman as we dive into a recent report into financial abuse. We’ll shed light on the alarming ways the tax system is being weaponised. From coercive control to fraudulent tax returns, we’ll explore the tactics used by perpetrators and, most importantly, how organisations can play a vital role in prevention, detection, and support for those who have suffered. Let’s come together to empower victims-survivors and create a safer financial future for everyone.
