Following hot on the heels of SCTP’s session on the much-talked-about Pepsi case and last week’s webinar on managing Board of Review and appeal cases, join in this complimentary session to gain a better grasp of Australia Taxation Office (ATO)’s audit priorities, the dispute resolution pathways and strategies.
Tax authorities are leveraging sophisticated technology and its legal powers to scrutinise corporate tax affairs. In Australia, the Top 1,000 Program ensures that large multinational groups are reporting the correct amount of income tax and GST.
While the Pepsi case may have provided judicial clarity on the boundaries of tax avoidance schemes and intellectual property issues, other matters such as cross-border IP arrangements and inadequate transfer pricing, to name a few, are other areas to note.
Join Mr Neil Pereira, Managing Director, an Australian tax expert, as he unpacks the ATO’s audit priorities, dispute resolution pathways, and the indispensable role of tax governance in building a formidable defence. This practical session, designed for tax professionals and advisers in Singapore who manage Australian tax compliance, offers actionable insights into preparing for data-driven audits, navigating alternative dispute resolution, and implementing robust tax governance frameworks to mitigate risk and achieve favourable outcomes in an era of unprecedented ATO scrutiny.
- ATO’s Enforcement Arsenal: Deep dive into the Top 1,000 Program, data analytics, and AI-driven audits
- Dispute Resolution: Learn of the practical strategies for leveraging ATO’s in-house facilitation, independent review, and settlement options
- Tax Governance: Know the best practices for frameworks that reduce audit risk and enhance defence capabilities
