Keep Your Tax "House" Clean
Are You Audit-Ready?
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is ramping up its surveillance on property investors, launching a major data-matching program to catch underreported rental income, late tax returns, and incorrect deduction claims. With over 2.2 million records being cross-checked twice a year, it’s not the time to be cutting corners.
Investors who work with qualified, experienced property tax accountants are unlikely to encounter issues. But for those who aren’t, this latest crackdown is a timely reminder of why expert advice matters.
