Protecting yourself from misinformation

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has observed websites attempting to harvest personal information such as Tax File Numbers, identity details and myGov login credentials under the guise of providing “super advice”.

.

To protect yourself:

Always verify information through trusted sources such as ATO, Australian Securities & Investments Commission Money Smart or your super fund.
Consult a registered tax professional or licensed financial adviser for personalised guidance.
Be wary of “free expert” tax advice from unverified sources.
Think twice before acting on information from social media or non-official websites.
Check if tax professionals are registered with the Tax Practitioners Board before engaging their services.
