Recently appointed Taxation Commissioner, Chris Jordan, is striving to see the ATO reduce red tape for small business owners.
The aims include:
• Providing more targeted, accessible and reliable services to small business owners
• Aiming to reduce the impact of ATO activities on day-to-day business operations and cashflow
• Improving communication channels to facilitate the timely distribution of relevant and accessible information
In line with these aims the ATO has introduced a number of new small business initiatives.
These initiatives include:
• Establishing small business fix it squads. These working groups bring together small business representatives with representatives from all levels of government to consider solutions to small business problems
• Working with small businesses to find solutions to debt. The ATO is encouraging small businesses to contact them if they have a tax debt, and providing assurance that they will seek to implement manageable solutions
• Setting up a small business newsroom on the ATO website that centralises relevant information, allows people to set up notifications, add tax dates to their own calendars and share articles with each other.
