BPW Australia

BPW Australia has a permanent representative on the Personal Tax Advisory Group (PTAG) to ensure that our voice on issues concerning women, tax and micro business is heard. For example, we know that Capital Gains tax and small business can mean specific challenges for women.

Our current representative Mary Calloway is involved with PTAG discussions on issues such as compliance, summary of new legislative measures, the Tax Help program, pre-filling/e-tax, and the review of Tax Pack and superannuation.

Many women don’t know much about tax and finances, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn. There are many resources available on the ATO website. Mary also offers the following tips: Get to know the ATO website www.ato.gov.au and subscribe for updates.
