Are you protected against the ramifications of increasing audit activity?

If not, you need our Audit Shield service!

  • What are tax and government audits and reviews?

Audits, enquiries, investigations and reviews are conducted by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and other federal, state and territory government agencies to ensure business and tax payer compliance with various tax and legislative requirements. These include Income Tax, Land and Payroll Tax, GST, FBT, Record Keeping, Workers Compensation, Employer Obligations, Superannuation Guarantee and Self Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) Compliance, amongst others.

  • How likely am I to get an audit, enquiry, investigation or review?

The ATO, along with other federal, state and territory agencies, continue to announce significant increases in their audit activity. Now more than ever, Individuals, Businesses and Self Managed Superannuation Funds are at risk of being selected for an audit or review. The ATO’s enhanced data-matching capabilities now enables wider scope to target both businesses and individuals.

  • What are the costs to businesses and tax payers in the event of an audit, enquiry, investigation or review?
    If your business, SMSF or individual return is subjected to an audit, enquiry, investigation or review, you are responsible for the costs (professional fees) involved in providing the required information. Even the simplest enquiry can require hours of work. In multiple years or multiple companies and trusts, thousands of dollars in accounting and legal fees can be incurred. The cost of being properly represented in these matters can be quite considerable depending on the length of time involved.
