180F: Agreement for disclosing prisoner information for taxation purposes

You could also call this:

"Agreeing to Share Prisoner Info for Tax Purposes"

When you want to share information about prisoners for tax purposes, you need to make an agreement. This agreement must explain how the information will be shared. You have to say how you will share the information and how you will follow the information privacy principles, as set out in section 22 of the Privacy Act 2020.

Before you make, review, or change the agreement, you must talk to the Privacy Commissioner. The agreement applies to all the information the department has about prisoners, no matter when they got it. This means the agreement covers information the department had before the agreement started and information they get after it starts.
