📷The Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) has announced that, from mid October to the end of the first week of November, it will be targeting small businesses. The TPB is going to encourage business owners who use a tax agent for their tax or business activity statement matters to check that the agent they use is registered.
The TPB says it will encourage small businesses to:
look for the registered tax practitioner symbol, andcheck the TPB register.
“The registered tax practitioner symbol provides practitioners with public recognition that they are registered with the TPB,” it says, adding that the symbol “reassures taxpayers and businesses that you as a registered tax practitioner have the right qualifications and experience to look after their tax affairs”.
The TPB will be undertaking advertising online (including on mobile phone platforms) and social media. Specifically advertisements will be published on:
Newscorp sites (News.com.au, The Australian, The Herald Sun, Daily Telegraph, Courier Mail, Advertiser, Perth Now)Yahoo!7 FinanceBig MobileFacebookLinkedIn.
You can download your registered tax practitioner symbol from the TPB website for use on a range of business materials, including websites, stationery, email signature blocks, brochures and business cards. The TPB says the symbol should be displayed with your registered practitioner number underneath (as pictured above on this page, but see full display requirements here).
Visit the TPB website and download your symbol now. You will need your username (registration number) and password to access the request form.
