The ATO have published an alert with regards to possible SCAMS. There are emails being sent to individuals/businesses claiming they are from the ATO and asking for personal information to be emailed back to them. There are also phone calls to both mobiles and land lines also asking for personal information such as bank account details, credit cards, etc. In some cases the caller is threatening fines if the information the caller wants is not given.

We highly recommend you do not answer any of the questions asked, as this call will more than likely be a scam. The ATO will not contact you via this method and seeing we are your nominated tax agent all enquiries would come to us from the ATO. In an unusual case if the ATO was to contact you directly they would send a letter to your address and then follow up with a phone call or ask you to call them quoting a particular reference.

The ATO does not contact clients via email or texting.

So if you were to receive contact from a person saying they are from the ATO, we would ask you to contact us immediately on 03 9670 5232 or the ATO on 13 28 61
