Thirty-five locations will play host to ATO “pop ups,” to give taxpayers advice about the ATO’s digital products and services. This includes self-lodgment tools and the ATO app.

Assistant commissioner at the ATO, Kath Anderson, said the campaign follows positive feedback from taxpayers about face-to-face initiatives.

“Last year alone, over 30,000 people were assisted, and over the past 30 years, the Tax Help service has helped more than one-and-a-half million Australians with their tax returns,” Ms Anderson said.
