Contractor/Council data matching program
The ATO has advised that it will acquire details of approximately 20,500 individuals providing contractor services to local government authorities in the 2010/11 and 2011/12 financial years from various local government Council and Shire authorities throughout Queensland,Tasmania,New South Wales and Victoria.
These will be electronically matched with certain sections of ATO data holdings to identify non-compliance with lodgement and payment obligations under taxation law.
