ATO Amendments, Objections and Private Binding Rulings

AIMS Australia Tax Accountants assists with amending prior-year tax returns, preparing objection submissions and applying for private binding rulings where a complex Australian tax position requires formal review or clarification.

Time limits may apply to amendments and objections. The available options depend on the relevant income year, prior lodgements, ATO correspondence and applicable law.

Compliance note.

Objections, amendments and private binding ruling applications require careful review of facts, evidence, time limits, prior lodgments and the applicable law. AIMS Australia Tax Accountants cannot guarantee that the ATO will accept an amendment, allow an objection or issue a ruling in the terms requested.
