The Inspector-General of Taxation (IGT) published his Annual Report for the years 2016-17. The report, for example, includes further insights into the maturation of the complaints handling service of the institution and how it resulted in reviews undertaken throughout the year.
Mr. Ali Noroozi, the Inspector General, stated that the institution is effectively managing the increase in the number of complaints and their growing complexity as more taxpayers and tax practitioners become aware of the services. The further development of the complaints handling service has, for example, led to direct improvements to tax administration through the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and Tax Practitioners Board (TPB).
Some of the Inspector-General's other activities include assisting parliamentary committees such as the Economics Committee and the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Tax and Revenue with their inquiries. In doing so, the Inspector-General of Taxation has drawn on its independent expertise and experience in the tax and superannuation systems.
