    On this page

    The Small Business Stewardship Group is one of the stewardship groups operated by the ATO as a means of improving the client experience and administration of Australia’s taxation, superannuation and registry systems.

    The group provides an opportunity for strategic discussion to develop and improve the administration and operation of the taxation and superannuation system into the future.

    The group will focus on:

    • identifying opportunities to improve the taxation and superannuation system to make it easy to get things right and hard not to, through an understanding of the effects on the small business sector
    • gaining insights into issues faced by the small business sector to improve future approaches and processes
    • being a conduit for information-sharing between the ATO and small businesses via engagement, education and communication within networks.

    The secretariat of the Small Business Stewardship Group can be contacted via email at sbsg@ato.gov.au
