Chapter 1 Introduction
Background
1.1
The purpose of these hearings is to increase the scrutiny of the
administration of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) through receiving
submissions from the ATO and other relevant bodies, and then conducting public
hearings at which the Commissioner, scrutiny bodies and other relevant groups
selected by the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit (JCPAA) are in
attendance to answer questions and to discuss tax administration more broadly.
1.2
This report is the first report into tax administration to be tabled
since biannual hearings with the Commissioner of Taxation were conducted on an
annual basis.

The introduction of regular public hearings into taxation administration
resulted from an inquiry undertaken by the JCPAA in the 41st
Parliament.
