Assignment Help:

phoenix activity involves "the evasion of tax and other liabilities, such as employee entitlements, through the deliberate, systematic and sometimes cyclic liquidation of related corporate trading entities". However, a range of other activities that can be considered deceptive are often referred to as phoenix activity.

Phoenix activity is the deliberate and systematic liquidation of a corporate trading entity which occurs with the illegal or fraudulent intention to:

- avoid tax and other liabilities, such as employee entitlements

- continue the operation and profit taking of the business through another trading entity.

Liabilities may also include contractual or statutory obligations and civil or criminal proceedings.
