Help is available to navigate tax time

If you need help appealing decisions made by the Australian Tax Office (ATO), the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman (ASBFEO) can assist.

The ASBFEO has a Tax Concierge Service that can help you, or those who deal with your tax, navigate the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) process.

They can give you:

• information about the AAT’s procedures for reviewing a decision
• access to subsidised legal advice to help you decide if lodging an Application for Review with the AAT is worthwhile
• ongoing support and assistance until a decision is reached (for example, help with applications and compiling relevant documents).
