As the Federal Government pushes ahead with its comprehensive fiscal realignments, a critical missing link in the nation’s tax ecosystem has finally been plugged with the formal operationalisation of the Office of the Tax Ombud.
The move is designed to safeguard corporate and individual taxpayers against administrative high-handedness while fostering a balanced social contract between the state and the taxpaying public.
