- Notifying current and prospective clients about any matter that could significantly influence their decision to engage you as their registered tax practitioner
- The requirement for you as the tax practitioner to take corrective action in relation to a false, incorrect or misleading statement to take all necessary corrective steps:
- were the tax practitioner made the statement – to correct the statement; or
- were the tax practitioner prepared the statement to advise the maker of the statement that it should be corrected; or requiring you to advise the client to take corrective action to correct the statement; or
- were the tax practitioner prepared the statement and the maker of the statement does not correct the statement within a reasonable time – notify the TPB or ATO.
- Other additional obligations include:
- Keeping of proper client records
