Lo and behold this client now has to wait a minimum of 12 weeks for her refund and consequently cannot pay her rates. Is the ATO going to reimburse her for the penalties that will be assessed to her for late payment of these rates? Or is the ATO going to reimburse her the amount she would have had received as a discount for early payment of her rates?

Why does it take a minimum of 12 weeks to contact her employer to verify that her one Payment Summary is genuine? They have no trouble in telephoning my clients when they want information from them and this brings me to another matter. The ATO contacted my client by telephone to do a telephone review of his superannuation obligations. I knew nothing about this until I received a letter from the ATO to my client thanking them for doing this interview and reminding them to keep their superannuation obligations up to date.

How dare they contact my client by telephone without informing me? As I told my client that they should never ever respond to any questions by phone from the ATO as this could be anyone representing themselves as ATO staff.

My client felt that because they stated that they were from the ATO that he had to answer their questions.

Taxpayers have also been urged to ensure their employers have finalised their income statement and it is tax ready before they lodge a return. This is usually done by mid-July but because of Covid some people will have to wait until the end of the month. While we usually get these out in under two weeks, it may take longer if we need to address any mistakes and potentially adjust your return.
