Blatant Artificial And Contrived Tax Schemes Of The 70s And 80s

Education & Reference History Business & Economics

Blatant Artificial and Contrived Tax Schemes of the 70s and 80s by Trevor Boucher lifts the lid on Australia’s most audacious tax dodges of the disco decade. This first-edition paperback from the Australian Tax Office delivers a surprisingly lively tour through shelters, loopholes, and creative accounting that once kept accountants busy and revenue officers busier.

Boucher blends case-study detail with plain-English explanation, making the complex world of tax law accessible to students, young professionals, and anyone curious about economic history. At 413 pages, the book doubles as a reference for finance buffs and a cautionary tale for policy watchers who still quote these schemes today.

The copy is in very good shape: crisp pages, no writing or ex-library marks, just light scuffing on the closed edges from gentle shelf life. Stored smoke-free, it’s ready to slip onto a business, law, or Australian-history shelf without the usual second-hand odours.

Ideal for collectors of niche Australian non-fiction, tutors hunting real-world classroom examples, or accountants nostalgic for the era before GST. Search keywords like Australian tax history, Trevor Boucher tax schemes, or ATO first edition to land this conversation-starting volume.
