End Of Year Tax Threats And Scams
5th of July, 2017
Please be advised that phone call scams are very common at tax time. If anyone calls you talking about rebates you are entitled to – they are scamming to get your bank details.
If anyone calls making threats about ATO investigations claiming to be from the ATO legal department – its an extortion scam and they will try to tough talk you into making a payment to get a non existent tax case against you dropped.
Its important to remember the ATO will never call demanding payments. They send out letters informing you of audits if applicable and if there was a mystery rebate you are entitled to your accountant should tell you about it.
Never give bank details over the phone or your TFN.
In both cases its nonsense, so if in doubt call Craig Shirley from CAS Accountants.
