BackThe first quarter of FY23 has been very busy for the office of the Inspector-General of Taxation and Taxation Ombudsman (IGTO) with a number of corporate compliance requirements needing to be finalised and discharged alongside the IGTO’s core business activities.
So far in this financial year, the office has:
- Published its new Corporate Plan;
- Completed its FY22 financial statements and audit;
- Published its Annual Report;
- Completed its Protective Security Policy Framework assessment and reporting requirements;
- Published the Interim Report of its Investigation into the ATO’s Administration and Management of Objections;
- Attended the annual general meeting of members of the IOI’s Asia-Pacific Ombudsman Region;
- Attended a celebration to mark the 60th Anniversary of the New Zealand Ombudsman; and
- Signed a Heads of Agreement and are currently negotiating a commercial lease for our new premises.
In addition, Ombudsman Karen Payne and her team continue to assist taxpayers who approach the office with their tax disputes – unresolved complaints. The IGTO continues to prioritise the investigation of urgent, time-sensitive matters while exploring opportunities to refer or assist taxpayers in all other cases through appropriate channels.
