Taxation Management Framework

The Taxation Management Framework and Certification Checklist pro forma have been developed to assist ACT government agencies to manage their taxation risks and obligations.

The key features of the framework are:

• Designated taxation managers for each agency;
• Annual certification;
• Taxation compliance reviews; and
• Support mechanisms facilitated by Treasury.

Agencies listed in Attachment 1 of the framework will be required to fully comply with the framework.  Certification by the Chief Financial Officers must be completed by 30 September and provided to the Taxation Liaison Officer in the Accounting Branch by 31 October each year.

Although not required to comply with the framework, Territory Owned Corporations and smaller agencies are encouraged to adopt elements of the framework as best practice.
