"What you need to do to open a tax pooling account"

Illustration for Tax Administration Act 1994

You want to establish a tax pooling account. Your application must include your full name, address, and tax file number. You must say you will operate systems to meet the requirements set out in section 124U(1). You must also confirm you will establish a trust account to pay amounts you receive. You must promise to tell taxpayers that the tax pooling account is not overseen by the Commissioner. You must also tell them the Commissioner is not liable for any loss related to the account. You need to say you are fit to operate the account as required by section 124V. The Commissioner may approve your application if they think you can operate the account correctly. They must also think you have systems to make payments and provide information as required.
