With our extensive experience in dealing with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), we assure our clients that they are being effectively represented before tax regulators.
ATO Representation is a vital service offering consultation and support to Australian businesses, especially during periods of economic uncertainty, playing a pivotal role in the survival of Australian enterprises. ATO representatives possess a wealth of experience in advocating for Australian businesses before the ATO. The benefits of ATO Representation are multifaceted, ranging from tax compliance to strategic business advice. Here’s a summary of what we offer:
ATO Stewardship Groups specialize in specific product segments, systems, or markets, particularly when program complexity is high. In addition to consultation, ATO Representation provides support in risk management, with members sharing insights from recent GST workshops. Core design teams are established based on program objectives, especially in times of heightened uncertainty.
Payment Thinking: Ensuring timely payments is the ATO’s foremost priority. Whether through reminders to small businesses to settle their debts or correspondence, the ATO takes into account
taxpayers’ circumstances before reaching a decision. While most Australians settle their tax obligations promptly, unforeseen circumstances may arise. In response, payment thinkers devise processes and systems aimed at facilitating businesses in making timely payments. This shift in focus aims to minimize future defaults and promote financial responsibility.
Key Performance Indicators: The ATO’s key performance indicators (KPIs) are designed to align with the government’s overarching policy objectives. The ATO aims to enhance the Australian tax system by elevating the quality of tax compliance while minimizing tax collection. Consequently, the ATO is dedicated to fostering efficiency and productivity within businesses. Should the ATO encounter challenges in fulfilling its mandate independently, its representatives are prepared to escalate cases to court.
Collaboration between ATO staff and various groups is integral to its operations. The Secretariat collaborates with the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman to integrate small business perspectives throughout the ATO. Efforts also continue to enhance the ATO’s dispute resolution processes involving businesses. The Secretariat remains committed to updating key messages and soliciting feedback on their initiatives.
The ATO comprises four primary groups: tax debt, superannuation market, Departmental Liaison Officers, and the Inspector-General of Taxation (IGTO). As the ATO represents all Australians in Parliament and the Senate, it responds to complaints through the parliamentary Document Management System, ensuring compliance with legislation.We offer professional and ethical accounting and taxation services.
