The Australian Taxation Office has served notice on Hogan to remain in Australia while it continues investigations into his tax affairs. Earlier this year the actor lost a court battle to keep tax documents secret.
Two media organisations, News Ltd and Fairfax Media had fought a 6 year legal battle to obtain the documents.
In 2002 Hogan and wife Linda Kozlowski purchased a $3.5M house on Sydney Harbour before selling up in 2006 and moving back to LA..During that time the ATO has claimed that Hogan had declared himself stateless for a
number of years whilst travelling between Australia and the USA
Although later films received poor reviews, Hogan and his partner in the Crocodile Dundee films, John Cornell made millions of dollars from the 3 successful movies after financing the series themselves. Investing heavily in real estate in Northern NSW, the pair have made a further fortune. Cornell has just recovered from a bout of cancer and is recuperating in the resort of Byron Bay where he and wife Delvene Delaney live.
