The government has released a raft of draft legislation for consultation as a part of its response to the recent tax adviser misconduct scandal. They relate to bolstering promoter penalty laws, extending whistleblower protections, increasing the ease of information sharing, and Tax Practitioner Board reforms. Consultation on this suite of measures will run until early October, at which point the government will consider feedback received before the introduction of legislation into Parliament, which was originally planned to occur in 2023.
