An analysis of the Tax Practitioners Board outsourcing exposure draft

Published on 01 Feb 18 by "THE TAX SPECIALIST" JOURNAL ARTICLE

Outsourcing and offshoring are now commonly used work practices among tax professionals. A 2013 Australian study found that 21% of all accounting firms had adopted outsourcing. This article critically examines the necessity and efficacy of the Tax Practitioners Board exposure draft practice note TPB(PN) D38/2017 as a specific practice note on tax outsourcing and offshoring in relation to the Code of Professional Conduct, which forms part of the Tax Agent Services Act 2009 (Cth). As a result of some evidence of non-compliance, it finds that the practice note is useful in highlighting to tax practitioners involved in outsourcing and offshoring what their ethical responsibilities and obligations are under the Code of Professional Conduct.
