The following community information is brought to you by the Australian Taxation Office. Interview with Yangsook Lee.
SBS talks about how we can protect ourselves from falling victims to tax scams with an ATO talent.
Sometimes its hard to tell whether a message is a scam or the real thing from the ATO. What should people be looking out for?
Its important to remember, that the ATO will never:
■threaten you with immediate arrest
■ask you to pay money to receive a refund or payment from us
■ask you to pay with iTunes cards or any other pre-paid card
■ask you to pay money into a personal bank account.
The ATO will never ask you to provide personal information, like your Tax file number or credit card number, via email or SMS.
