Tax Practitioners Board

GPO Box 1620 Sydney NSW 2001

Overview

The Tax Agent Services Act 2009 (TASA) was enacted to establish a regulatory framework governing the conduct of tax (financial) advisers in Australia. It was introduced to address the need for a structured system to oversee tax practitioners, ensuring they adhere to professional standards and maintaining public trust in the tax system. The Act was enacted by the Commonwealth Parliament and its policy objective is to protect the public by ensuring that tax practitioners are suitably qualified, competent, and act with integrity. The Act provides for the registration of tax practitioners and the establishment of the Tax Practitioners Board, which is responsible for the oversight of tax agents and financial advisers. The Board has the authority to terminate the registration of tax practitioners who fail to meet the requirements of the Act or who engage in misconduct.

Scope and Application

The Tax Agent Services Act 2009 (TASA) applies to tax practitioners, including tax (financial) advisers, who are registered with the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB). The Act aims to ensure that tax practitioners meet the necessary standards of competence and conduct, and it governs their registration and ongoing obligations. The Act applies across Australia, and its provisions are enforced by the TPB, an independent statutory body. The Act includes provisions for the termination of registration, which can occur through surrender, cessation of business, or failure to meet the requirements of the Act or the code of professional conduct. The Act may also be extended or restricted through subordinate instruments, such as regulations or codes of conduct. There are no stated exclusions or exemptions from the Act, but certain thresholds apply to the registration requirements. The Act applies to both individuals and entities that provide tax services, and it covers a range of industries and transactions related to taxation.

Key Provisions

The main sections of the Tax Agent Services Act 2009 (TASA) relevant to the termination of tax (financial) adviser registrations are sections 40-255 (Termination of registration by the Tax Practitioners Board) and 30-120 (Termination of registration for failure to comply with the code of professional conduct). Section 40-255 allows the Tax Practitioners Board to terminate the registration of a tax (financial) adviser if certain conditions are met, such as the adviser surrendering their registration or ceasing to meet the requirements of a tax practitioner. Section 30-120 allows the Board to terminate the registration of an adviser for failure to comply with the code of professional conduct. These sections provide the legal basis for the Board to terminate registrations as listed in the gazette. The obligations and requirements imposed by the Act on tax (financial) advisers include maintaining professional indemnity insurance, complying with the code of professional conduct, and meeting the qualifications and experience requirements to be registered. The Act also requires advisers to notify the Board of any changes to their personal or business details, and to keep accurate records of their tax services. Failure to comply with these obligations and requirements can result in the termination of registration under sections 40-255 and 30-120 of the Act. Under the Act, there are both civil and criminal consequences for breach. For example, section 40-255 allows the Board to terminate the registration of an adviser who has surrendered their registration or who no longer meets the requirements of a tax practitioner. Section 30-120 allows the Board to terminate the registration of an adviser for failure to comply with the code of professional conduct. In addition, section 40-270 provides that an unregistered tax (financial) adviser commits an offence and is liable to a penalty of up to $22,200 for individuals and $111,000 for bodies corporate. There are also potential criminal penalties for more serious breaches of the Act, such as fraud or wilful misconduct.
