The Strategic statement 2010-15 is to be read in conjunction with Making a Difference - the intent behind our Strategic statement 2010-15.
This strategic statement sets out our vision for the future. It is an aspirational statement describing our values and how we will work with government and the community in the years ahead.
The Australian Government and its agencies exist to improve the wellbeing of all Australians.
The ATO has important responsibilities, on behalf of the community, for the care of Australia's tax and superannuation systems and the Australian Business Register.
Revenue from Australia's tax system helps fund public goods and services that give effect to economic and social policies. Australia's superannuation system helps secure retirement income for Australians.
The Australian Business Register makes it easier for businesses and all levels of government to interact.
Australians already demonstrate a high level of willing participation in these systems. We believe this is a sign of good citizenship.
Michael D'Ascenzo
Commissioner of Taxation
and Registrar of the Australian Business Register
