The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is the principal revenue collection agency for the Australian government. It is responsible for administering and enforcing tax laws, ensuring compliance, and collecting taxes from individuals and businesses. The ATO also manages the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and oversees superannuation contributions. In addition to tax collection, the ATO provides guidance and support to taxpayers, helping them understand their obligations. The agency offers various online tools and resources, making it easier for Australians to file their taxes and access information about tax-related matters.
