CICTAR report cited in Guardian report on DP world dispute

The Guardian Australia has reported that Tony Burke, workplace relations minister, has refused to intervene in the industrial dispute between DP World and the maritime union, accusing the ports operator of running a political and media campaign instead of bargaining with its workers.

The report notes that;

“In November Guardian Australia revealed that DP World has paid no tax in Australia despite generating revenue of more than $4.5bn over eight years.

A report by the Centre for International Corporate Tax Accountability and Research claimed that DP World’s top Australian subsidiary may have “artificially reduced profits” to achieve the result. DP World responded that it fulfils all its tax obligations.”
