IGTO report on ATO handling of objections
The result of a recent review into the ATO’s handling of objections by taxpayers has been released by the Inspector-General of Taxation and Taxation Ombudsman (IGTO). While this initial review merely analysed ATO’s data in order to report the information publicly with no in-depth investigations, the issues identified will form the basis of Phase 2 investigations. One of the areas IGTO will pursue in Phase 2 will be understanding the reasons for the high proportion of self-initiated objections. Submissions are now open to interested stakeholders.
