NEW DISCLOSURE RULES FROM THE TAX PRACTITIONERS BOARD
In relation to the taxation services we provide, we advise that the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) maintains a register of tax agents and BAS agents which can be accessed and searched here. The register contains details of registered, suspended, and deregistered tax and BAS agents.
If you have a complaint about a tax agent service that we provide, we encourage you to seek to resolve it with us by contacting us immediately. You can also make a complaint to the TPB in accordance with their complaints process set out here.
Our registration as a tax agent is not subject to any conditions and in the last five years we have not been subject to any of the events described in subsection 45(1)(d) of the Tax Agent Services (Code of Professional Conduct) Determination 2024 (the Determination) or other matters required to be disclosed under other laws.
