As the Accountable Authority of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), I present the following annual performance statement. This statement has been prepared as required under paragraph 39 (1)(b) of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act) and covers the period from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019.

In my opinion, and having considered the recommendations from the ATO Audit and Risk Committee, the annual performance statement accurately presents the ATO’s performance for the reporting period and complies with subsection 39(2) of the PGPA Act.
