Helen Coonan, for the Board to gather and present to her the views of business and the broader community on the Government’s proposal to establish an Inspector General of Taxation.
The Government will establish the Inspector General of Taxation to strengthen the advice it receives about tax administration and process. The Inspector-General will be an independent adviser to government with a focus on improving the operation of the tax administration system.
