- take active steps to resolve any complaint we received and advise you of the outcome
- return telephone messages by the end of the following business day if the person responsible can't assist you immediately
- respect your privacy in relation to all information held by us. We will provide access to or disclose your information with your consent where authorised by law
- perform audits and investigations as part of our commitment to administer taxes fairly and efficiently and to assist you in meeting your statutory obligations

How we meet our standards
Show moreEducation and training
We provide relevant, accurate and easy to use information through website content and education sessions.
Early dispute resolution
We engage with you at the earliest opportunity to prevent disputes in the first instance, and where possible, minimise the expense, delay and stress a protracted tax dispute can cause.
Disputed assessments
If you disagree with an assessment, contact the Revenue Officer identified on the notice of assessment or the relevant enquiry line. We will explain the grounds for the assessment and do our best to resolve the dispute.
Objections and appeals
If we can't reach a resolution, you can lodge an objection in relation to an assessment or decision. Objections are reviewed by a senior officer in an area separate from that of the original decision maker.
