The Australian taxation system has become very complex over the past number of years, with the introduction of the GST and the New Tax System, small business tax reform, the tax consolidations regime and the Simplified Tax System. As a result, keeping up to date with tax compliance responsibilities is becoming increasingly difficult for individuals and businesses to manage.
