ATO Crackdown On Cash Economy
As part of the ATO's approach to managing tax risks, this financial year they will send around 110,000 letters to taxpayers who may be participating in the cash economy. The majority of letters will be sent to businesses reporting outside the 'small business benchmarks' for their industry. The letters inform taxpayers that they have been identified as a result of one of the ATO's cash economy indicators, and will encourage them to review their records to ensure they have correctly reported all income, especially cash transactions.
