ATO guidance products

The guidance products you can use, including practical compliance guidelines.

Last updated 27 February 2017

Our guidance products, such as the content on this website, explain how the law operates generally. They often provide step-by-step guidance, are simply expressed, and don't cover all possibilities. Guidance can be provided in writing or orally.

Private written guidance may also be provided if you have written to us to ask about the operation of the law.
