With our years of experience dealing with the Australian Taxation Office, we can ensure our clients are being properly represented before the tax regulators.

ATO Representation is a service that provides consultation and support services to Australian businesses. This is particularly important in a time of economic uncertainty, and this service is essential to the survival of Australian businesses. ATO representatives have a wealth of experience representing Australian businesses before the ATO. The benefits of ATO Representation are numerous, and their services range from tax compliance to business advice. The following is a summary of what they have to offer:

ATO Stewardship Groups focus on a specific product segment, system, or market. This arrangement is generally put in place when the complexity of a program is high. In addition to consultation, ATO Representation provides assistance in the area of risk management, and members share ideas from recent GST workshops. Core design teams are based on the objectives of a program and are generally put in place when uncertainty is high.

Payment Thinking: Paying promptly is the ATO’s primary objective. Whether it’s through a reminder to make sure a small business pays its debts or a letter, the ATO will consider the circumstances of the taxpayer before making a decision. Most Australians pay their tax debts on time, but sometimes circumstances can’t be avoided. Instead, payment thinkers design processes and systems that make it easier for businesses to make timely payments. This shift in focus helps to prevent future defaults.

Key Performance Indicators: ATO’s key performance indicators are aimed at supporting the government’s overall policy objectives. The ATO’s goal is to improve the tax system in Australia by increasing the quality of tax compliance and reducing the amount of tax collected. As such, ATO is committed to helping businesses become more efficient and productive. Its representatives will take your case to court if the ATO cannot do its job on its own.

ATO staff have worked closely with members of the group. The Secretariat is working with the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman to better integrate the Small Business view across the ATO. They also continue to work with the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombulsman to improve ATO’s processes for settling disputes involving businesses. The Secretariat will continue to update the Key Messages and provide feedback on their efforts.

ATO has four main groups. The first group is the tax debt. The second group is the superannuation market. It deals with tax debt and superannuation. ATO represents all Australians in both Parliament and the Senate. The other three groups are the Departmental Liaison Officers and the IGTO. The ATO responds to complaints in the parliamentary Document Management System. This means that the ATO is responsible for ensuring compliance with the law.
