Australian Taxation Office
On 18 May 2016, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) wrote to the Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) advising that the authority to certify Regulation Impact Statements (RISs) will be delegated to Deputy Commissioner-level officers in the ATO and to the Assistant Commissioner, Revenue Analysis Branch. This is consistent with recent changes to improve flexibility in the RIS process by allowing agencies to delegate the certification authority to any Senior Executive Services (SES) level officers. To ensure transparency, the ATO’s certification to delegate authority has been published on the OBPR website, and can be found below.
