Australian Taxation Office National Tax Clinics Grant Program

Overview

The aim of the National Tax Clinics program is to provide funding to eligible tertiary education providers to operate an independent service, where unrepresented taxpayers can seek free tax assistance from students under the supervision of a qualified tax professional. The service is available to taxpayers who may not be able to use a tax practitioner due to economic, social or personal factors. There are no fixed criteria that will be applied to clients of the Tax Clinics; however, priority should be given to those persons considered vulnerable. Discretion will be given to the National Tax Clinics operator to select clients based upon their personal and financial circumstances while keeping within the aims of the program.
