Income Tax Assessment Support

Prepare reconciliations and evidence for an income-tax assessment or related enquiry.

Overview

Prepare reconciliations and evidence for an income-tax assessment or related enquiry. Start by identifying the purpose, reporting period and intended users of the work. BIAT can assess the available records and propose an engagement with defined responsibilities and deliverables.

Scope of support

  • Notice and issue assessment
  • Books-to-return reconciliation
  • Response preparation and professional coordination

Records to prepare

Use this starting checklist to prepare for a discussion. The final evidence requirements are confirmed after the initial assessment.

  • Assessment communication and deadlines
  • Filed return and computation
  • Relevant books and transaction evidence

Deliverables and engagement planning

The income tax assessment support scope identifies the output, review steps and information required from your team. Where a filing, report or certificate needs an eligible professional, that role is confirmed before the engagement proceeds. The proposal records fees, exclusions, dependencies and target milestones. Authority review, incomplete records or changes to the request can affect timing.

Handover the output

Deliver the agreed records or report and identify any filing, hearing or ongoing follow-up steps.

FAQ

Questions to help you scope the engagement.
Is assessment support the same as a tax audit?

No. Assessment support responds to an authority’s enquiry or proceeding. A tax audit has a separate examination and reporting scope.
