Tax & Super Australia tax counsel John Jeffreys joins host Jotham Lian in this episode of Accountants Daily Insider to take a closer look at why accountants are doing it tougher this year.

With state and territory governments rolling out new business support measures each time a lockdown is announced, John explores how accountants can be better supported as they are constantly relied on to help their clients during this difficult time.

John also looks at how the ATO can play a bigger role in supporting the profession, and why the 85 per cent lodgement benchmark needs to be re-looked at as stress levels rise.
