ATO APP - VERIFY CALL FEATURE, AND MORE!

Before you abuse an innocent public servant because you believe it is a scammer, check out the ATO app!

The ATO app is a simple and secure way to manage your tax and super on the go — and it now includes features designed to help keep your information safe.

One of the latest features, VERIFY CALL, allows you to check in real time if a call claiming to be from the ATO is genuine. If you can’t verify the call, hang up and don’t continue the conversation.

There are also additional security features to help protect you:
✔️ Real-time alerts when key changes are made to your account
✔️ Account lock if you’re concerned about unauthorised access
✔️ Secure access by registering your device (a quick, one-time step)

The app is free to use — just make sure you download it from official sites such as the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

We recommend downloading the ATO app, registering your device, and getting familiar with this feature to help keep your personal information safe.

Stay vigilant and remember to stop, check and protect your information.

📢 ATO Debt Recovery Update – What Businesses Should Know in 2026

As we move into 2026, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has reaffirmed its focus on recovering outstanding tax debts, which currently total around $50 billion nationwide.

The ATO has confirmed it is taking a more targeted and assertive approach to debt management, including:

- Increased winding-up actions

- Greater data sharing across industries and government departments

- Continued compliance blitzes and a crackdown on the “shadow economy”

On 7 January 2026, the ATO also advised it is actively using Departure Prohibition Orders (DPOs), with 21 orders issued so far this financial year, preventing individuals with significant tax debts from leaving Australia.

The message is clear: the ATO is showing no signs of slowing down when it comes to enforcing lodgement and payment obligations.

If you have outstanding tax debts, cash flow concerns, or are unsure where you stand with the ATO, now is the time to act.

🚨 False Chargeback Claims (aka “Friendly Fraud”) 🚨

Small businesses are increasingly being hit with false chargeback claims, where customers request unjustified transaction reversals through their banks — costing businesses time and money.

The Queensland Small Business Commissioner (QSBC) has identified this as a national issue and advises that if your dispute is denied, you should escalate the matter to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).

📄 AFCA has a helpful factsheet on chargebacks : https://www.afca.org.au/about-afca/publications/factsheet-chargebacks

If you’re affected, don’t ignore it — there are steps you can take to protect your business.

⚠️ Important Update from the ATO
From 1 July 2025, General Interest Charge (GIC) and Shortfall Interest Charge (SIC) will no longer be tax-deductible.
Currently, the rate is around 11% – remember, the ATO is not a bank and isn’t aiming to be competitive.
✅ If you have ATO debts, it may be worth considering external finance options to reduce costs.
✅ If you’re requesting a remission, make sure your application is detailed, matches the debt period, and includes evidence of circumstances beyond your control.
Stay informed and plan ahead to avoid unnecessary interest!

HAPPY ACCOUNTANTS DAY !!.

The 10 November date commemorates the day in 1494 that Venetian mathematician Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli published his critical work on everything about arithmetic, geometry and proportion.
