At the same time, we’ve recently had some substantial tax law changes. You need to be aware how these may continue to affect you and what options you have to reduce your tax.
As a Tax Agent our work for you is performed in accordance with the Tax Agent Services Act 2009. Under this Act, the Tax Agent Services (Code of Professional Conduct) Determination 2024 requires that we make the following disclosures to you:
Matters that could significantly influence your decision to engage us (or continue to engage us) for a Tax Agent Service from 1 July 2022 onward include the following:
We close our offices over Christmas for a 2.5 to 3 week period and will not be in a position to process accounts during this time.
No other matters applicable to the best of our knowledge
