In this 2 part episode series of Tax Yak, George Housakos yaks with Vincent Licciardi on two very hot issues for the new financial year of 2024/25: The new tax agent breach reporting regime and new Code of Conduct of professional conduct determination.

Host: George Housakos | Senior Tax Trainer, TaxBanter
Guest: Vincent Licciardi | Partner, HWL Ebsworth

This episode, we will focus on the new tax agent breach reporting regime, whereby the TPB has provided guidance material pursuant to TPB (I) D53/2024 (which came into effect on 1 July 2024, whereby tax practitioners (which includes Tax and BAS agents) gain an understanding of the updated breach reporting obligations under section 30-35 and 30-40 of the Tax Agents Services Act (TASA) 2009.

These obligations require registered tax practitioners to mandatorily report on two matters:

• ‘Significant breaches’ of the Code of Professional Conduct in the TASA relating to their own conduct to the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB); &
• ‘Significant breaches’ of the Code of Professional Conduct by other tax practitioners in the TASA to the TPB and the recognised professional association of that tax practitioner.
