{{Main articles|PwC tax scandal}}
In 2023, it was revealed that a PwC partner, who was a member of consultation groups set up by the [[Treasury (Australia)|Australian Treasury]] to improve tax laws, had been leaking confidential government tax plans to PwC. The data leaked by the PwC partner included new taxation rules to close loopholes which allowed multinational companies to avoid paying tax.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Thompson |first=Colin Kruger, Angus |date=2023-01-23 |title=Treasury threatens to stop briefing tax multinationals after leak |url=https://www.theage.com.au/business/companies/former-pwc-partner-banned-after-leaking-confidential-government-tax-plans-20230123-p5ceq9.html |access-date=2023-01-23 |website=[[The Age]] |language=en |archive-date=23 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230123085033/https://www.theage.com.au/business/companies/former-pwc-partner-banned-after-leaking-confidential-government-tax-plans-20230123-p5ceq9.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
