在澳洲换会计师:手续其实只有五步,但有一步 ATO 规定只能你自己做

想换会计但怕麻烦?三个最常见的顾虑都有明确答案:换所不需要现任会计点头(TPB:TASA 2009 无此要求),前任也不能未经你同意把资料转走。真正卡人的是 ATO 的代理提名——有 ABN 的实体必须走 myID + RAM + 企业在线服务五步,而 ATO 明文规定「你的代理不能替你完成提名」。本文含五步操作、28 天有效期与延长规则、个人与个体户的例外,以及交接时该向前任要的 9 项资料。作者 Lily Zhang,CPA、注册税务代理。

Here is what changed, the ordering rule that catches employers out, how the new super guarantee charge works, and what to check in your payroll this week. By Lily Zhang, CPA.
