You may contravene a civil penalty provision if you are unregistered and provide tax agent services for a fee, advertise that you can provide such services or represent yourself as registered.

You contravene a civil penalty provision if you are neither registered nor a qualified tax relevant provider and you provide tax (financial) advice services for a fee or advertise that you can provide such services.

You also contravene a civil penalty provision if you are registered and you make a false or misleading statement, employ or use the services of an entity whose registration has been terminated, or sign a declaration or statement that was prepared by an unregistered entity who was not working under the supervision or control of a registered tax agent or BAS agent.
