ATO - Lost 07-08 Notice of Assessment

[Turkish Delight]

Do you know if the ATO will send out a duplicate 07/08 (last years) notice of assessment? I seem to have lost mine and can't find it and the accountant needs it to lodge this years tax return.

Is it just the sequence number you need? If so you can ring the ATO and get it from them.

what is the sequence number for? I don't do any tax stuff, just give it to the accountant to do. I guess i'll just call the ATO in the morning and ask.

I hate tax time. But i love the money coming in!

Why can't you find things that you are looking for????????

Your accountant should be able to call the ATO on their special tax agent hotline thingy (they might even be able to do it online over the tax agent portal??) and request a copy, it will probably take about 7-14 days for them to send it out. If your accountant won't call them you should be able to... not sure what number you would call, the general one I guess? Should be able to find it on the website.

Make sure have lots of personal details on hand and be prepared to wait if you decide to call them... dealing with the ATO is a pain in the butt! LOL.

Hope that helps!

I've been looking for DH's today as well. I have no idea what I've done with it.

I don't know all the technicalities but you have to put the sequence number from last yrs statement on your this years tax form......does that make sense?? I don't think I've explained it very well.
