Transparency

Learn the benefits of transparency, so we can tell you what we know and work with you to get things right.

Last updated 25 September 2018

Privately owned and wealthy groups tell us they want transparency about what attracts our attention so they can get things right up front.

They also want to know what we know about them so they understand their tax and super position, and have the opportunity to self-correct and provide information where needed.

In response, we're providing information about what attracts our attention and news about recent developments in tax and super. We're also introducing new services to give you certainty and transparency about what we know about you.

Transparency is two-way. Where your dealings are transparent we can tell you what we know about you, including our view of your group's tax risk profile, so you can work with us where needed to get things right, and because we understand your circumstances better we can offer you the right services.
