ATO power to modify operation of the law
February 2016
On 1 May 2015 the Government announced that legislation would be introduced to provide the Tax Commissioner with the power to modify the operation of tax and superannuation laws.
Draft legislation on this proposed change was released by Treasury on 4 December 2015.
This power is only intended to be used by the Commissioner as a last resort (i.e., when all other avenues for correcting the situation have been exhausted) and where there is a negligible impact on revenue.
