The objectives of the Tax Compliance Unit are to:

  • ensure the Department and its entities comply with all tax related statutory requirements in accordance with the Tax Compliance Framework
  • identify all issues relating to the implementation of the GST which have an impact on the Department and education providers and ensure these issues are appropriately addressed and resolved in a timely manner to enable the Department to satisfy the statutory requirements
  • ensure all stakeholders are consulted where necessary and are fully aware of all the FBT, GST and other taxation implications and requirements
  • ensure all the processes and systems within the Department are changed where necessary to facilitate the introduction of GST
  • minimise duplication of effort and waste of resources across the Department, schools, and early childhood education providers by either drawing on the expertise of consultants engaged by the Department of or engaging consultants to undertake generic work.
