Pharmacy Daily | Pharmacy tax forum

The Pharmacy Guild has often advocated – on behalf of pharmacy owners – for ways to improve the tax system and reduce compliance costs. The Australian Tax Office (ATO) has approached the Pharmacy Guild to recruit participants for their new online small business tax forum, which will initially be run as a pilot. This is a unique opportunity for pharmacy owners to participate and share their experiences, learn from other small business owners’ experiences and provide direct feedback to the ATO about managing tax and superannuation obligations. This feedback will help the ATO better understand the challenges small businesses face and will be used to improve their services. The Guild believes this forum provides an ideal opportunity for pharmacies to interact directly with senior ATO executives and decisionmakers, who manage the ATO products and services they use. The ATO expects that forum members may spend around five to 10 minutes per week on the forum, and this could result in some positive changes in terms of how the ATO administers the system. Pharmacy owners who are interested in participating in this innovative pilot community should visit smallbusinesstaxforum.com.au/ recruit/26/ and complete the short survey to see if they qualify.
