Is tax audit insurance a smart investment or just another line item? For most Australian businesses, the answer is clear: it’s a high-impact, low-cost way to protect against escalating compliance risk.

Why Tax audit insurance Pays Off

It offers:

  • Coverage of professional fees
  • Financial certainty during ATO audits
  • Expert support for complex responses
  • Confidence to engage fully with the ATO

Real-World Example

A Melbourne-based retailer faced a GST review linked to overseas supplier payments. The ATO requested detailed records going back three years. Their accountant recovered over $4,200 in fees—entirely covered by their tax audit insurance policy.

When You Need It Most

  • ATO audit program is active in your industry
  • You operate a trust, SMSF, or partnership
  • You’re engaging in crypto, property, or cross-border transactions
  • You’re flagged for discrepancies through STP or data sharing

Is It Worth the Premium?

Premiums are modest, tax-deductible, and easy to manage. For a few hundred dollars per year, your business gets:

  • Peace of mind
  • Audit protection resources
  • No unexpected costs if flagged by the ATO
