(1) The Office of State Revenue does not maintain statistics based on taxpayer entity structures and therefore it is not possible to provide statistics specifically on companies, as individuals, partnerships, trusts, etc are also investigated. However, as a guide, the total number of investigations and audits for all taxpaying entities for all revenue laws under the administration of the Commissioner of State Revenue, are as follows: Financial Year Total Investigations & Audits Conducted (a) 2002-2003 4, 226 (b) 2001-2002 3,574 (c) 2000-2001 5,691 (d) 1999-2000 2,415 (e) 1998-1999 1,757 (2) Statistics are not maintained or forecast on the basis of a taxpayer structure and therefore the number of companies which would experience an audit in the current financial year is not known. However, it is estimated that around 4,600 audits and investigations covering all revenue laws will be conducted in the current financial year.
