Ways to report
You can report a tax avoidance or tax evasion scheme confidentially by:
- completing the tip-off form on our website or in the ATO app 'contact us' section
- phone the tip-off hotline on 1800 060 062.
Details to prepare
If possible, you should include the following information:
- details of the arrangement
- name and contact details of the adviser, intermediary, facilitator or promoter
- any other relevant information, such as promotional material, cost of the arrangement, tax advice provided.
What to do if you're offered a scheme
If you are offered a tax avoidance or tax evasion scheme, you should reject it and then report it to us. You should also contact us if you:
- think you are involved in a tax scheme
- have concerns about an investment arrangement or a promoter.
Taxpayers who disclose their involvement in a tax scheme could be eligible for a reduction in penalties.
If you suspect that you have already entered into a tax avoidance or tax evasion arrangement, please contact us to correct your position and mitigate your exposure to interest and penalties.
