About the Webinar

A recent statement from Federal Treasury indicates “the biggest crackdown on tax adviser misconduct in Australian history” is on the horizon. So, what are the issues that are leading to increased scrutiny of the tax industry and what impact will the crackdown have on tax practitioners. This session looks into the issues, including:

  • What are the shortcomings in the tax industry that require the crackdown?
  • What is a “tax exploitation scheme” and what are the penalties, both current and proposed, that can apply to advisers promoting them?
  • What are the current areas of concern the ATO have with tax avoidance and which of those areas are commonly encountered in practice (QC 33631)
  • Managing the ever-increasing gap between the growing complexities of our tax legislation and client expectations
  • How “confidentiality” and “conflict of interest” requirements for accountants are in the authorities firing line
