While the mine is now smaller than originally planned, it still generates millions in revenue each year of operation and the Australian government has not received a single cent in corporate tax. Business editor Jonathan Barrett speaks to Reged Ahmad about how the company has generated a loss on paper and why it’s time for a rethink on how we tax corporate wealth You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport
