Four priorities for the ATO this tax time

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has today announced four key focus areas for Tax Time 2022.

The ATO will be focusing on:

• record-keeping

• work-related expenses

• rental property income and deductions, and

• capital gains from crypto assets, property, and shares.

These ATO priority areas will ensure that there is an appropriate level of scrutiny on correct reporting of deductions and income, so that Australia continues to have a strong tax system that can support the Australian community. Taxpayers can take steps to lodge right the first time.
