On 27 March 2025, after completing an investigation, the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) decided to terminate the tax agent registration of Tabark Pty Ltd (the Company) and to prohibit the Company from reapplying for registration under the Tax Agent Services Act 2009 (TASA) for a period of five (5) years from the date the termination takes effect.
The TPB determined that the Company ceased to meet the tax practitioner registration requirements under:
1. paragraph 20-5(3)(a) of the TASA that each director be a fit and proper person;
2. paragraph 20-5(3)(b) of the TASA that the Company must not be under external administration; and
3. paragraph 20-5(3)(e) of the TASA that it maintains professional indemnity insurance (PII) that meets the TPB’s requirements.
The TPB also found that an event that impacted the Company’s continued registration under paragraph 20-45(1)(e) of the TASA had occurred, being that the Company had gone into external administration.
The TPB also found that the Company had engaged in conduct which breached subsections 30 10(1), 30 10(2) and 30 10(13) of the Code of Professional Conduct (the Code) in the TASA.
The TPB found that the Company had breached the Code by:
1. preparing and lodging its Business Activity Statements and reporting figures at label 1B (GST on purchases), in circumstances where he knew and/or ought to have known that the Company was not carrying on a business and that the amounts reported in the relevant BAS at label 1B were false;
2. failing to lodge its income tax returns by their respective due dates;
3. failing to pay its debt as and when if tell due;
4. failing to notify the Board within 30 days that it entered external administration on 8 August 2024.
5. failing to maintain PII that meets the TPB’s requirements.
In finding that the Company’s director, Mr Kahtan Al Hassan (Mr Al Hassan), was not a fit and proper person, the TPB considered that he:
1. Engaged in conduct that breached the Code and caused the Company to breach the Code
2. Provided false and misleading statements to the TPB in his individual and Company registration applications
3. Is not a person that the Board, the Commissioner of Taxation and the public could have confidence would perform his functions as a registered tax agent and with integrity.
The TPB also considered a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Quality and Safeguards Commission finding permanently banning the sole director Mr Kahtan Al Hassan under sections 73ZN(2)(a)(i) and 73ZN(2)(a)(iii) of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 prohibiting him from being involved; directly and indirectly; in the provision of NDIS supports and services; including in a consultancy capacity effective from 22 January 2024. In making this determination the TPB considered that the sole director, Mr Kahtan Al Hassan’s behaviour displayed as a person who was employed or otherwise engaged by a NDIS registered provider undermined the integrity of both the taxation system and NDIS framework.
On the basis of the Company’s conduct that breached the Code, the seriousness of the conduct that undermined the integrity of, and public confidence in, the taxation system and the professional standards expected of tax practitioners, the TPB was satisfied that the Company had ceased to meet the tax practitioner registration requirements under paragraphs 20-5(3)(a), 20-5(3)(b), 20-5(3)(e) of the TASA.
