If your clients receive government payments for providing services such as healthcare, disability support or childcare under a Commonwealth program, remind them of their obligation to:
- keep accurate records
- report the income they receive at the correct label in their tax return.
- lodge and pay their tax in full and on time to avoid penalties, interest charges and firmer actions.
We are a member agency of the Fraud Fusion Taskforce which is a multi-agency initiative to combat fraud against government payment programs, such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
These programs help providers deliver important services to Australians. To ensure a level playing field, providers must meet their tax obligations.
Read our updated GPP data-matching program protocol to learn how we’re detecting non-compliance.
