SMSF Association submission on corporate governance related requirements for recognition under the Tax Agent Services Regulations 2009

The SMSF Association welcomes the opportunity to make a submission on The Tax Practitioners Board’s (TPB) draft Information Sheet (TPB(I) D39/2017) Corporate governance related requirements for recognition under the Tax Agent Services Regulations 2009.

We have reviewed the draft information sheet and support the corporate governance criteria that the TPB has set for professional associations to satisfy in order to be a recognised professional association under the Tax Agent Services Regulations 2009. We are also pleased that the TPB has made it clear in the draft information sheet that it will take a pragmatic approach in assessing an association’s ongoing compliance with the corporate governance requirements in the Tax Agent Services Regulations 2009.
