A Melbourne man has been sentenced to three years and six months imprisonment after defrauding the Australian Taxation Office of nearly $35,000, and filing additional false claims worth an extra $460,000, including dozens of dodgy JobKeeper applications.

A Victorian boss and two related businesses have been fined a total of $290,000 in relation to sexual harassment in the workplace, marking the state's first conviction of its kind under workplace health and safety laws.

The Australian Taxation Office secured 174 criminal convictions for tax-related fraud in the last financial year, while the stunning trend of GST fraud popularised on social media suggests even more prosecutions are on the way.
