Tax Practitioner Stewardship Group

About the Tax Practitioner Stewardship Group

The Tax Practitioner Stewardship Group (TPSG) is one of the stewardship groups operated by the ATO to help improve the client experience and administration of Australia’s tax, superannuation and registry systems.

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

The group is focussed on:

• identifying opportunities to improve the tax and superannuation systems to make it easy to get things right and hard not to, through an understanding of the effects on the tax practitioner sector
• gaining insights into issues faced by the tax practitioner sector to improve future approaches and processes
• providing an insight into the tax profession through their membership and network, to better understand how they can contribute into the initiatives and improvement of the tax and superannuation systems.
