What To Expect
The ATO Audit Process
No two audits are precisely the same. Yours may involve a swift and straightforward check of your documents or a deep analysis of your deductions and transactions. The approach depends on a number of factors, including the reason for the audit. Some of the most common taxpayer actions that can trigger an audit include:
Failing to report your full income
Claiming tax deductions you're not entitled to
A history of missed tax returns
A history of late lodgement
International transactions
ATO tip-offs
Being in one of the ATO's current target industries
Business income that's lower than industry benchmarks
Consistently operating at a loss
Income not matching lifestyle
Unusual fluctuations between financial years
Inconsistency between your tax return and BAS
Early Action Is Key
Get Ahead of Your Audit
The best time to prepare for an audit is before you've been notified of one. The second best time is now. The sooner we can get your reviews, analyses, and documentation underway, the better placed you'll be to successfully navigate this challenge. Our accountants have decades of combined experience, so when it comes to audits, you couldn't be in better hands.
