The Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) is warning the public about unregistered tax agents who operate illegally, lack proper training and qualifications, and could expose you to significant fines imposed by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
These ‘charlatans’ often allure clients with inflated tax returns and illegitimate tax refund claims, potentially exposing your private information in the process.
TPB urges the public to seek services from registered tax practitioners, highlighting the perils of using unregistered tax services sourced via social media and other platforms.
And anyone who had dealings with Anthony Dean Buckland is advised to promptly review their financial status and secure their personal information.
