“Illegal phoenixing is the deliberate and systematic liquidation of companies with the fraudulent or illegal intention to avoid tax and other liabilities,” said Stuart Collins, HIA Executive Director Tasmania.
“While there may be only a small number of instances of this occurring in Tasmania when it does it causes significant cost and reputational damage to industry.
“It also creates an uneven playing field and represents an inefficiency in the industry which leads to a misallocation of resources, additional costs and lower productivity.
“While it is difficult to quantify its impact, according to the Fair Work Ombudsman and PwC, the cost of illegal phoenix activity nationally is estimated to be in the range of $2.85 to $5.13 billion, with the estimated direct cost on business being between $1,162 – $3,171 million per year.
“The introduction of tighter controls to prevent illegal phoenixing In Tasmania will undoubtedly provide industry and consumers with greater ‘peace of mind’ when proceeding with their housing projects,” concluded Mr Collins.
