The Assistant Treasurer, Chris Bowen MP, has released the Inspector-General of Taxation's report Improvements
to tax administration arising from the Inspector-General's case study
reviews of the Tax Office's management of major, complex issues.

The report summarises systemic issues arising from three earlier case
studies conducted by the Inspector-General in 2007 relating to service
entity arrangements, living away from home allowances, and research and
development syndicates.

The Tax Office has worked closely
with the Inspector-General and agreed to specific administrative
changes in response to the systemic issues identified from the case
studies.

The Tax Office has also outlined in the report its current approaches to the management of major, complex issues.
