Tender Description

The ATO invites Australian Universities and TAFEs offering courses in tax, accounting, bookkeeping and law to apply for this grant opportunity.

The aim of the National Tax Clinic program is to provide funding to eligible Australian educational institutions to operate an independent service, where unrepresented taxpayers can seek free tax assistance from students undertaking relevant studies in tax related disciplines under the supervision of a qualified tax professional.

The National Tax Clinic Program offers assistance to individuals and small businesses who may not be able to use a tax practitioner due to economic, social or personal factors.

The Australian Government announced the expansion of the National Tax Clinic program in the 2023 Federal Budget as part of a suite of measures designed to drive collaboration with small business to reduce the time spent complying with tax obligations.

The measure is designed to improve access to the service for small businesses in hardship and other vulnerable groups by increasing the number of tax clinics by 5, expanding eligibility to TAFE institutions.
