About the Webinar
Determining the status of a worker can sometimes be an extremely complex task, which can have a significant impact on so many fronts.

- the truck drivers (ZG Operations v Jamsek [2022] HCA 2)
- the lecturer (JMC Pty Ltd v Commissioner of Taxation [2023] FCAFC 76)
- What impact the proposed changes to the Fair Work Act 2009 would have – and whether this would affect tax and superannuation compliance obligations
- The rules for deeming a contractor an employee for superannuation purposes
- The ATO’s compliance approach and the risk zones:
- Taxation Ruling TR 2023/4 Income tax
- Practical Compliance Guideline PCG 2023/2
- The implications for getting the decision wrong
