Be aware of the tax scam, small business accountant Sydney

As your small business accountant in Sydney, it is our job to ensure that your business and homes are safe. Which is why we wanted to inform you about the recent tax scams that are currently happening.

The biggest tax scam at the moment is done through your mobile or landline and our business accountant has collated the main points to be aware of:

• Keep an ear out for the voice quality of the call, it should sound like a robot and be pre-recorded
• Be sure to call the ATO on their scam hotline on 1800 008 540 to determine if the problem is real or not
• Phone scams are the most common form for this to happen
• Always be sure to hang up immediately after you hear the phrase “You are being listed as a primary suspect and your house is under surveillance”
• A clear sign of it being a scam is that the ATO will never threaten you, your home or your business in any phone call case. So once they start threatening you then you know it is a scam

They are the best tips that our business accountant in Zetland can offer you to protect yourself. Feel free to contact us during our business hours and we can attend to your enquiries.
