Received an ATO Letter?
Don’t Ignore It — and Don’t Respond Until You Understand the Issue.
An ATO request may involve information already held through data matching, employer reporting, financial institutions or other government sources.
Before responding, you should understand:
- what the ATO is actually questioning;
- the response deadline;
- what documents support your position;
- whether your response could create another tax issue; and
- whether professional representation is appropriate.
Upload the ATO letter and let us assess the issue first.
For now, begin with the enquiry form. We will provide secure document-transfer instructions after reviewing your enquiry.
