From financialnewswire.com.au: The ATO has faced criticism for incorrect data matching regarding rental income, leading to letters sent to individuals who do not own rental properties, suggesting they failed to declare income.

Chartered Accountants ANZ urged the Tax Ombudsman to review ATO processes and improve the accuracy of data used for communication with taxpayers.

They also recommended enhancing the clarity of ATO correspondence to ensure taxpayers understand their obligations and the information provided.
