Tax Agent Services Act Significant Breach Notification
From 1 July 2024, all tax agents will be required by law to notify the Tax Practitioners’ Board of “significant breaches” of the Code of Professional Conduct. These are breaches of both the tax practitioner and other tax practitioners that a tax agent considers may have engaged in a significant breach of the Code. The TPB has released a draft information sheet (34 pages) concerning these important changes. In this webinar I will explore, in detail, what the TPB thinks these changes mean for all tax practitioners. These changes are a “must know” for all tax practitioners.

Monthly tax update
This is the regular monthly update webinar discussing what has been happening in the tax world in the last month. This webinar follows the federal budget and I will discuss changes in the budget that are of importance to accountants advising the SME market.
How do I register for and attend a webinar?
Easy. Just become a member of this website. You don’t have to register your attendance. On the morning of the webinar all members of this website will be sent a zoom link for the webinar. If you don’t think you have received the link, make sure you check in your junk email folder. If you don’t want to attend the webinar, that’s OK. There will be a recording available later.

Is attendance at a webinar verifiable?
Yes. If you attend a live webinar presented by John Jeffreys Tax you will be given an opportunity during the presentation of the webinar to verify your attendance. In each webinar conducted by John Jeffreys Tax there appears during the course of the presentation a “verification of attendance” slide. When that slide appears you are invited to either take a screen shot of the slide or take a photo of it using your mobile phone. When the recorded webinar is made available in the Members Resources area of the website, the verification slide is removed. Further, the PDF version of the slides has this slide removed. This ensures that the only way in which you can verify your attendance is to view the webinar when it is being presented live.
Types of webinars
As the name suggests, an “In Depth Tax” webinar is a deep dive into a tax subject. These webinars will be of at least one hour duration and there may be a series on a particular topic. At least one “In Depth Tax” webinar is provided to members of this website each month.

“The Tax Hour” is a monthly update webinar specifically designed for accountants in public practice. Using colourful visual aids, John Jeffreys will present the latest developments in tax and superannuation that have occurred over the last month. This is a great way to stay up to date with tax and superannuation matters – and all webinars will count for CPD/CPE.
The Tax Hour is not intended to cover absolutely everything occurring in the last month (too much information!). Rather, a few items that are of the most interest to accountants and tax agents in public practice are selected. These are explained in some depth so that you understand the change. This produces a much better learning outcome than being hit with a large number of unrelated items where you can’t remember what was said.

“Tax Case Studies” webinars are, as the name suggests, based on case studies that are relevant to the affairs of small and medium enterprises and the accountants that service that part of the market.
John Jeffreys selects 3 – 4 case studies that raise various issues. The case studies are based on real events or problems that you are likely to face in practice.
In each case study the facts are set out, along with the issues. John will then give you a clear explanation of how the issues are resolved with appropriate reference to relevant tax resources.
