The ATO has announced that it will continue rental bond data matching to the 2025-26 income year. This program first commenced in 2005, collected data dating back to 1985 and has continued since then. According to ATO estimates, records relating to around 900,000 properties will be obtained each financial year. This data will be used to identify under-reporting or non-reporting of income in tax re turns, the misapplication of CGT provisions leading to under or non-reporting in relation to sale of properties, and non-compliance with foreign investment laws.
