摘要
There are claims that large Australian and other multinational corporations that pay no or little tax because of taking abusive tax positions breach their human rights obligations as they deprive governments of the means to provide services. These services include poverty alleviation, health, education, housing and access to water. This article critically examines the legal validity of this claim and seeks to determine if such a link exists. The article concludes that a breach by such corporations of their tax obligations, no matter how egregious, does not constitute a breach of human rights.
