Taxpayer Alert

Tax File Numbers are being compromised more often than ever. We remind you that the privacy around your personal details, including your tax file number and myGov accounts, are of the utmost importance.

Our business continues to update our protections to keep your information safe, but there are many ways to also protect yourself.

• Any correspondence from the Tax Office contains confidential information, including payment slips. Keep this in mind when receiving these documents.

• Change your passwords often, including your myGov and Tax Office logins, as well as our client portal.

• Dispose of documents securely.

• Do not share your drivers licence, passport, Medicare card or any documentation with your tax file number without good reason.

• Do not email personal details unless secured.

• Royal Cornell, the Tax Office and your bank will not send through email links. Do not supply information, unless you know these are secure.
