A string of dodgy businesses have been caught using software to avoid paying tax.
The Australian Taxation Office and Australian Federal Police have busted 35 businesses across Victoria, NSW, Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania.
They have been caught supplying and using illegal electronic sales suppression tools so they can keep more of their earnings and give less to the ATO.
ATO Deputy Commissioner John Ford said some businesses had deliberately been putting in the wrong orders into the software.
