CPD Webinar - Tax and Criminal Conduct

1 CPD Unit – Ethics and Professional Responsibility

Professional advisers are often pressured by clients to go to extraordinary lengths to gain the maximum possible tax benefit. However, conduct in tax matters can have serious consequences when the line is crossed. For professional advisers, understanding the issues that can arise is an important part of advising clients and managing their practice.

Join Arthur Athanasiou, from AGA Legal, for a thought-provoking session exploring common scenarios affecting tax agents and what can happen when conduct crosses into criminal offending. Throughout the webinar, Arthur will discuss:

• Common scenarios affecting tax agents;
• Potential consequences when the line is crossed; and
• Application of the relevant legislation under:
• the Criminal Code;
• Taxation Administration Act 1953; and
• Tax Agent Services Act 2009.
