ATO’s new appeals division – the “RDR”

In a recent speech, an ATO Second Commissioner spoke about the ATO’s new Review and Dispute Resolution (RDR) area which is being set up as a separate division to review objections and appeals.

He stated that the ATO has accepted that disputes should be managed in a division separate from audit.

He said that “From 1 July, all objections will come under the purview of RDR, which reports to him, and is separate from their Compliance and Tax Counsel areas”.
