Who’s keeping Australia’s tax and BAS agents honest
New appointments to the body that regulates every tax and BAS agent in Australia.
The Assistant Treasurer has appointed two new members — Mark Friezer and Paula Tallon Bennett — to the Tax Practitioners Board, the national regulator for tax and BAS agents. It’s a good prompt to remind clients why registration matters: a registered agent is bound by a professional and ethical code that an unregistered “numbers person” simply isn’t. If you’re not sure whether the person doing your books is registered, it’s worth checking.
