In now what is a standard feature of Budgets in recent years, the ATO is to receive yet another significant increase in funding to enforce taxpayer compliance. Specifically, the Government will provide $999.0 million over 4 years for the ATO “to extend and expand tax compliance activities”.
The additional funding includes the following.
The anticipated return on this investment is also noteworthy – it is estimated to increase receipts by $3.2 billion over five years from 2024–2025, and increase payments by $1.4 billion, including an increase in GST payments to the states and territories of $402.6 million and $31.0 million in unpaid superannuation (to be disbursed to employees).
