DIGITAL TAX - THE BAR IS RAISED!......AND IMPORTANT DATES
/We have previously advised of the ATO’s increase in data matching and data analytics:
The introduction of Single Touch Payroll is a key development in this area. It not only provides the ATO with real time digital data, but works towards aligning the ATO’s records with the SRO and Workcover etc.
The ATO recently hired a digital tax specialist to head up its data analytics function to increase its capability in this area. A lot of source data is now provided in digital form (i.e. Single Touch Payroll).
Employers and Business Owners need to be proactive with their compliance.
2019 Payment Summaries: If you haven’t yet provided your employees with their payment summaries for the year ended 30 June 2019, you need to make this a priority. The due date for this is 14th July 2019.
