Tax Office's Online Forum for Small and Medium Enterprises

The SME Tax Forum is an interactive online community hosted by the Tax Office. The aim of the Forum is to foster a stronger relationship between the Tax Office and Small and Medium business operators through working together to identify opportunities to make it easier to meet their tax and superannuation obligations and to reduce compliance costs. Suggestions and comments that have been put forward by business operators to date are already being used as an agent for positive change in the way the tax system is being administered. Members are able to participate in online discussions, Live Chats with senior Tax Office staff, vote in online polls, participate in online surveys and interact with other SMEs.
