AUSTRALIAN TAXATION OFFICE SCAM ALERTS

Everyone needs to be wary of anybody calling from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requesting payment of any outstanding tax debt or requesting their bank account details for crediting a tax return refund.

• MCKFS Total Service Clients (TSC) should request the person's contact details, and then immediately phone our office (1300 261 373), so that we can assess whether or not the phone call is legitimate.
• All MCKFS TSC tax is co-ordinated with our preferred accountants (Zentveld & Lewis) and the ATO should be contacting them before they start chasing you.
• If you are not a MCKFS TSC and you are in doubt about contact with someone claiming to be from the ATO, you can phone the ATO on 1800 008 540, 8:00am6:00pm Monday to Friday to check.
