The Privacy Act 1988 limits the collection, storage, use and disclosure of personal information about individuals by the ATO, other Commonwealth Government departments and agencies. New private sector provisions in the Privacy Act also regulate the way many private sector organisations collect, use, secure and disclose personal information. The private sector provisions aim to give people greater control over the way information about them is handled in the private sector by requiring organisations to comply with ten national privacy principles. These principles give individuals the right to know what information an organisation holds about them and a right to correct that information if it is wrong. The Privacy Commissioner’s Guidelines to the Australian Privacy Principles and other relevant information sheets are available at . It is the responsibility of private sector organisations to obtain their own advice on the effect of privacy law, including the Australian Privacy Principles on their operations. Under the Tax Agent Services Act 2009 (TASA), entities that provide a ‘tax agent service’ for a fee or reward are required to be registered with the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB). The TPB has released an information sheet to assist software providers who provide tax related software systems to understand the operation and impact of the tax agent services regime. In particular, the information sheet: provides guidance on which situations may or may not require registration with the TPB as a tax or BAS agent; and outlines procedures and processes that software providers need to have in place (where relevant) to ensure that they are not regarded as providing a tax agent service. Therefore it is important for all software providers to be aware of the requirements of the TASA and, if appropriate, comply with the obligations that exist within it. For more information go to the
