Data democratization and the ATO, exploring data gaps, government subsidy reporting, and the Taxpayers' Charter relating to FY21

This is the last session in The State of Tax Audits in Australia, delving into the changing landscape of tax and compliance, and tying together the overall picture of an increasingly progressive and open-sourced ATO. We will explore how this shift impacts on rights and obligations for taxpayers in FY21, including reporting JobKeeper, JobMaker, and COVID-19 relief payments, and what effects &quot;data democratisation&quot; may have on the accounting industry and other stakeholders, such as third party providers.Our special guests include Inspector-General of Taxation and Taxation Ombudsman, Karen Payne, the CEO and founder of Business Automation Works&#x27; ATOmate, Stan Corner, and Head of Strategy and Business Development at AssetAccountant, Mike Roberts.In this event, our panel will discuss:<ul><li>The issues around procedural fairness and taxpayer rights under the taxpayers charter that may arise where ATO data is not available to taxpayers and their representatives</li><li>The risks for accountants and tax practitioners where pre-fill data doesn&#x27;t match taxpayer records and instructions</li><li>How (and on what terms) the ATO works with third-party providers like ATOmate and AssetAccountant</li><li>How and when the ATO shares its data with accountants and third parties to improve compliance, reporting, and debt collection (with an update on the ATO Data-Window Project)</li><li>Data the ATO has around JobKeeper, JobMaker, and other Government subsidies, grants, incentives, and exemptions, and what this means for FY21 reporting</li></ul>If you missed our first two sessions, you can access the wrap-ups and recordings <a href="https://auditcover.com/the-state-of-tax-audits-in-australia/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.<ul><li>Part 1 discussed the auditing activity resulting from a data-driven ATO</li><li>Part 2 uncovered the cyber risks for accountants in an online environment</li></ul>About our speakers:Karen Payne, Inspector-General of Taxation and Taxation Ombudsman Ms Karen Payne was appointed Inspector-General of Taxation and Taxation Ombudsman commencing on 6 May 2019.She leads the Taxation Ombudsman complaints management service for taxpayers and advisers and the Inspector-General of Taxation&#x27;s review and public reporting function, both of which are directed at improving the tax administration system for all taxpayers.Ms Payne was previously a Member of the Board of Taxation as well as the inaugural Chief Executive Officer of the Board of Taxation.
