STATEMENTS MADE TO THE ATO

In our role of providing services to you, the law states:

We must not make a statement, prepare a statement, or permit an entity to make or prepare a statement to the commissioner that is:

a. Is false, incorrect or misleading in a material particular.

b. Omits anything that causes the statement to be misleading.

If, after making a statement, based on subsequent information, it is apparent that the statement is false or misleading in a material particular, then we should discuss any further information that indicates the statement is not, in fact, incorrect.

If we have reasonable grounds to believe that the false or misleading nature of the statement resulted from:

1. Failure to take reasonable care in connection with the preparation or making of the statement; or

2. Recklessness as to the operation of a taxation law; or

3. Intentional disregard of a taxation law.

Then we must advise you:

1. That the statement should be corrected.

2. The possible consequences of not taking action to correct the statement.

3. Our responsibility to take further steps if required.

If the statement is not corrected, we may have to withdraw from providing any future services.

We also note that in the event that the statement is not corrected and the false or misleading statement has caused or will cause 'substantial harm' to the interests of others, the law requires us to notify the ATO that a statement that has been made should be corrected.

This information is required to be provided by TASA 2009 s45(2) and is required when an entity is considering engaging or re-engaging a registered Tax Agent or BAS Agent or upon request.

This information is true and correct at the time of making this statement. Any change to this information must be updated within 30 days of us becoming aware of any change matter.
