THE ALL SEEING EYE:Google Earth uncovers tax fraud

TAX authorities are taking investigation to new levels by using satellite images from Google Earth to track down homeowners who do not pay the right amount of property tax.According to Argentina's Buenos Aires province tax official Santiago Montoya, images of properties from the sky can help square the actual size of properties with that declared by taxpayers to make sure the proper amount of taxes is being paid,the reports said.The online Google Earth service, which assembles detailed satellite pictures together with maps so that users can view specific locations and buildings,is also used by the Buenos Aires authorities to check if taxpayers may have expanded their homes in ways that would increase their value for taxation.Montoya said he is waging "a real war'' on fiscal deficits, and has already taken several steps to reduce the widespread tax fraud in Argentina.
