ATO Scams

The ATO has sent a reminder to all Australians to be aware of tax-related scams and remain alert during tax time.

There are differences to be noted between a legitimate ATO call and a scam:

“We would never cold call you about a debt; we would never threaten jail or arrest, and our staff certainly wouldn’t behave in an aggressive manner.  If you’re not sure, hang up and call us back on 1800 008 540”.
