Dear Inland Revenue Department,

How many individuals in 2020 attempted to avoid taxation by claiming they were 'sovereign citizens' (e.g. https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...) and that the IRD lacked authority to level tax? Please consider this to be an OIA request.

Yours faithfully,

Roger Bicknell
