| A multinational resources company that holds the rights to exploit Australia's biggest deposits of natural gas is being chased by authorities for more than $1 billion in unpaid taxes.
Fairfax's Eryk Bagshaw investigates the companies that secure multi-million-dollar government contracts, but pay little tax.
American fossil fuel giant Chevron, which paid no company tax in five of the past seven financial years, is fighting a demand by the Australian Tax Office for $1.062 billion in back taxes, Fairfax Media can reveal.
The dispute could be the largest single corporate tax matter before the ATO and is part of $4 billion that tax commissioner Chris Jordan aims to claw back from multinational energy and tech companies known for their aggressive approach to tax minimisation.
