Government entities

While most government departments and agencies are exempt from income tax, many have a range of tax and super obligations such as:

• fringe benefits tax
• goods and services tax
• pay as you go withholding
• super guarantee
• excise and taxable payments reporting.

To comply with tax and super obligations, government departments and agencies should employ appropriate governance measures.
