What does a registered tax agent do?
In Australia, anyone who provides tax agent services for a fee (preparing or lodging income tax returns, giving tax advice, or dealing with the ATO on your behalf) must be registered as a tax agent with the Tax Practitioners Board. Most accountants in public practice hold tax agent registration. Registration means they meet qualification, experience and professional-conduct requirements, and carry professional indemnity insurance.
