I am pleased to present to you the Annual Report of the Inspector-General of Taxation (IGT) for the year ended 30 June 2016. This report has been prepared in accordance with section 41 of the Inspector-General of Taxation Act 2003 (the IGT Act).
In addition, and as required by the Commonwealth Fraud Control Framework, I certify that I am satisfied that the IGT has in place appropriate fraud control mechanisms that meet the IGT’s needs and that comply with the guidance applying in 2015–16.
Yours sincerely
