GM HOLDEN

In reply to Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite) (10 April 2013).

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts): I have been advised of the following:

The release of specific taxpayer information is not permitted under the provisions of the Taxation Administration Act 1996 other than in relation to the administration and enforcement of the various taxations Acts.

To provide the payroll tax and land tax details of General Motors Holden to the honourable member is therefore not permitted under the Act and it is of course only right that businesses should be confident that their confidential details will be protected by the government.
