can I get them to check my accounting?

[Mr Magic]

I may be a tad slow, but how is this news for the Hun, other than another opportunity to 'drag up' the St Kilda Schoolgirl saga?

The story admits that the ATO hasn't even contacted Levin about the claim.

Maybe 'ATO sues clients of Management Firm' as a headline isn't as 'sexy'?

It might be interesting to know if there are other clients of this particular 'management firm' who are also bedind in their scheduled tax payments?

Totally agree MM.

I read the link and I just shake my head

I'm waiting for the Age article "Herald Sun sued again!", Surely a prominent lawyer could make a good case for defamation.

I don't believe you can be sued for defamation if you're printing the truth.
The fact is that the ATO have issued a writ for non-payment.
THe Headline, once again, doesn't seem to portray the actual 'gist' of the story, but that's really no surprise.

It was enough for me to know it was going to be a 'hatchet job' the instant I saw whose by-line was attached.

Ms Hewitt seems to specialize in this sort of article.

I think it's a case of a frog stuck in ice!

Ahhh the old "it was somebody elses fault". Now I see why he is part of the Saints board.

This country is full of people that won't take responsibility for their actions.

Our accountant's inaction saw us cop a bill last year.

We didn't have time to do our own tax hoo haa.

His fault entirely. Didn't do what he was meant to.

So what's your point?

When you are the owner of a business the buck stops with you. That includes the people you engage/employ to get work done through. Too many times tasks are abdicated to personnel without the required competencies. Too many times proper delegation is missed. Too many times responsibility is given for a task but not the accountability. If you outsource mission critical tasks like looking after the accounts of a multimillion dollar company then do your due diligence. If you don’t then why start screaming it was everyone else’s fault when the ship sinks.

That's a bit rude. Aren't there some rules to protect posters from that sort of abuse.

I was guilty of selecting a lazy accountant.

I was not guilty of avoiding tax.

Competencies. Delegation. Critical tasks. Abdicated.

Sure you don't work for the AFL?

You 'talk' like they do. Must've read the same self help book.

So the ATO found you weren't guity of avoiding tax? How original. I bet they left you alone after you told them it was all the accountants fault.

The accountant took it on the chin, signed a stat dec as to his error, and is now - I can only assume - working on his critical task competencies unless of course he delegated same to a more performance-centric delegate whose KPI's measure favourably in the context of his abdication.

The ATO got paid.

I didn't have to pay interest.

I have a new accountant who so far does what she should.

All's well that ends well.

Looks like I win the bet.

[Cairnsman]

I'd imagine the ATO would have most certainly been paid and they would have got their interest too. Sounds like your ex accountant kicked in for that though.

What protection do you have in place with the new accountant?

[Cairnsman]

It will get harder for people like Ross to abdicate their responsibility especially if ASIC has anything to do with it.

I'm waiting for the Age article "Herald Sun sued again!", Surely a prominent lawyer could make a good case for defamation.

I think Ross will be looking at legal action. Not against Sue Hewett or the Herald-Sun but against the buisness management company that failed to lodge a number of Buisness Activity Statements on Ross' behalf. I suspect that these management companies would be compelled to have professional indemnity cover !!

[saintbrat]

the post was not about Ross and his tax but more about the media feeling that they needed to put his life history out there..

did they also write articles on the other 100 or possibly more ( a guess) who missed on their tax last month or I assume maybe into the Thousands over a year.

public figure and all that But still wasn't necesary and they wonder why they are seen as gutter journalists..
at what point wil they ( and I assume never) apologise to the saints players for shoving falshoods in their faces without checking...

[Buckets]

Amazing that with such a stuff up, the article didnt publish the name of the financial agency???
Can anyone spell Scapegoat...
