ATO letter requesting interview
Hi everyone,
Last year my sis in-law got penalised for using Mark’s method to minimise her taxes. She had answered a phone call requesting an audit and we sent them back a letter explaining why she had put her expenses as it was. The staff member refused her request and imposed a 50% penalty on her claims.
This year, we documented our receipts and submitted a tax return. They have processed the tax refund, reversed it and changed it so she has a small tax outstanding to pay.
Furthermore, she received a letter from another officer requesting a formal interview with her over what they claim is a recklessly false and misleading statement, without giving further details.
We are going to write a letter requiring them to provide clear details of what they claim is recklessly false and misleading. We will also point out my sister in-law has accepted the penalty and paid for it, therefore wishes to close this chapter.
Any other suggestions?
God bless,
Brian

Would any of the questions from Module 2 – Legally & Legitimately Minimise Tax (Personal And/Or Business Tax) help in the document 9 Preparation for meeting with Tax Officer?

We are writing to decline the interview as she has paid the penalty while not agreeing with the ATO claiming she had made recklessly false and misleading statements.

It sounds like you are handling it well and asking the right question of the ATO.
