Tax and BAS agent feedback and complaints
As a tax or BAS agent, you can give feedback or make a complaint. We have a few options available.
On this page
We welcome your feedback and support your right to make a complaint. If you give us feedback – negative or positive – we will consider the points you raise. If you make a complaint, we will acknowledge the complaint within 3 business days. The targeted timeframe to resolve a complaint is 15 business days. A complaint resolver will contact you if more time or information is needed.
If you are not a tax or BAS agent, you follow a different process for complaints, compliments and feedback.
Talk to a tax officer or their manager
If you want to give feedback or complain about our decisions, services or actions, we recommend you first discuss the situation with the:
- tax officer you have been dealing with
- officer's manager if you are not satisfied.
If you are still not satisfied, you can lodge a complaint online or by phone. We treat feedback and complaints seriously and aim to resolve complaints as quickly as possible.
