Tax governance for private groups is on the ATO’s agenda
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has been reviewing the nature and operation of tax control frameworks as part of their Justified Trust (JT) methodology.
This focus from the ATO requires documented evidence of tax governance measures in place, without which organisations risk greater ATO scrutiny.
The ATO’s JT methodology for tax governance considers alignment with the ATO Tax Risk Management and Governance Review Guide, which sets out principles across 13 areas that the ATO expect to be in place and operational within a framework.
For Top 500 private groups and Next 5000 organisations, the ATO focuses on how its seven principles of effective tax governance have been applied in the context of an organisation.
