Public consultation

We produce a number of statements and rulings aimed at explaining how taxation law effects taxpayers and their agents.

Because we are keen to produce items that accurately and fairly reflect taxation legislation, and are useful in practical situations, your input into the process - as perhaps a "user" of that legislation - is highly valued.

Due dates reminders

Depending on your individual circumstances the due dates that apply to you may be different. We have a range of calendars available that will help you plan ahead to help you meet your obligations.
