The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is the government body responsible for collecting taxes and enforcing tax laws in Australia.
For example, employers must report employee earnings and tax withholdings to the ATO through Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting.
The ATO provides guidance on compliance with tax obligations, administers various tax programs, and ensures that businesses adhere to regulations regarding taxation.
Understanding the role of the ATO is essential for both employers and employees to ensure proper adherence to tax laws.
