On Monday 31 March 2008, the Tax Commissioner Michael D’Ascenzo officially released the Wealthy and wise: a tax guide for Australia’s wealthiest people booklet.

It discusses the importance and benefits of a good relationship between wealthy individuals and the Tax Office.

The booklet is a guide to tax compliance for wealthy individuals. It provides a reference for the wealthy to maintain high standards of governance over their tax affairs, in consultation with their adviser.
