The ATO's Intermediary Assurance Strategy outlines an integrated approach to engaging with tax advisers, registered agents, and other professionals who influence taxpayer compliance. The strategy aims to establish common risk assessment language, tailor ATO interactions based on risk profiles, and understand behavioural trends to improve compliance. It covers registered tax agents, BAS agents, legal practitioners, insolvency practitioners, tax advisers, and SMSF auditors. The ATO seeks to develop professional relationships with intermediaries through transparent engagement while maximizing leverage for compliance outcomes. The strategy supports the tax and superannuation systems by recognizing intermediaries' integral role in guiding complex tax affairs and building public confidence in the administration process.
