Over last calendar year, the ATO found a high demand for its “Tax professional conversations”, a series of webcasts. These were hosted by assistant commissioner Colin Walker, and were usually co-hosted by a panel made up of members of professional associations, tax agents, BAS agents, digital service providers (software developers) and senior ATO staff. The ATO’s first webcast for 2018
They were held in February, April, June, September and November, and ran for one hour, with attendees generally able to ask questions via a live chat facility or through Twitter during the live-stream.
In response to a high demand, the ATO has committed to bring the tax practitioner community more webcasts on topics that tax professionals have nominated.
The first such webcast is due next Monday (February 19) at 2pm AEDT. The panel will discuss:
