Recently a client enquired with our office as to the validity of a phone call from the ATO requesting money. Please be assured that the ATO’s preferred point of contact is your Tax Agent.
Be assured that if you were called directly by the ATO, you should confirm the name and title of the caller and then call the ATO switchboard to speak with that person.
Finally and most importantly, never send money or give financial details to someone you don’t know or trust..
