Tax audits can feel overwhelming, but they play an important role in keeping your business compliant with Australian tax laws. Whether it’s a routine check or triggered by something specific, a tax audit ensures your financials meet ATO standards.

Why Businesses Face Tax Audits
Tax audits might not be enjoyable, but they’re something many businesses have to deal with. An audit can be triggered by a range of factors like sudden income changes, mismatched tax details, or not aligning with industry standards. The ATO monitors businesses to ensure everyone is meeting their tax obligations.
Some common reasons for an audit include:
- Significant changes in income or expenses.
- Ongoing losses that seem unusual.
- Not hitting industry benchmarks for revenue or costs.
- Discrepancies between your tax return and BAS.
Understanding these triggers can help reduce your risk. But if you do get audited, Number Solutions is here to guide you through the process, making it as smooth as possible.
