| The tax office has warned that cyber criminals are stealing Australians' identities online to claim their tax refunds.
News Ltd says the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has issued the warning to taxpayers after a 31 per cent jump in the number of e-security incidents affecting tax office systems.
With 90 per cent of tax returns now done online, the tax office says stolen personal information could be used by criminals to claim fraudulent refunds.
