ATO tax refund received? Your tax return could still be reviewed.
Imagine receiving your tax refund, thinking everything is sorted… then months later, the ATO asks you to provide evidence for your claims.
It can happen. 👇
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) uses information matching and risk analysis to identify discrepancies and may review tax returns when further examination is warranted.
Here are a few things that could raise questions:
📌 Work-related deductions without supporting evidence
📌 Income that doesn't match third-party records
📌 Business expenses that aren't supported by proper records
⚠️ Remember: These issues don't automatically mean you're being audited. But if the ATO requests information, you need records to support what you've reported.
✅ Keep receipts and invoices.
✅ Maintain accurate income and expense records.
✅ Organise your tax documents.
✅ Respond to ATO requests carefully and on time.
Don't wait until the ATO asks questions to organise your records.
