Preparing for an ATO assurance review

The ATO’s assurance reviews operate as part of the ATO Tax Avoidance Taskforce.

The reviews undertaken are the main instruments to provide assurance to the Government and the public that the business community is fulfilling its tax obligations.
 
The Federal Government has provided substantial and sustained funding for the programs since 2016, enabling the ATO to have the resources and support to continue the development of these programs. Over the years, the Assurance Programs have influenced the way organisations design and document their tax matters to meet the ATO’s expectations for good governance and compliance.

Not ‘if’ but ‘when’ – Forewarned is forearmed

The ATO has indicated that the question is no longer ‘if’ taxpayers will be subject to a review, but rather ‘when’.
