A recent article published by Steadfast stated:
"Small business owners need to be particularly vigilant at tax time, with online scams common at this busy time of the year.

"According to Scamwatch, scammers use a number of tools to slip under your radar at tax time – from impersonating an ATO representative, to creating official looking emails and email addresses, to building sleek websites that mirror the ATO site.
Scammers might even recite personal information about you to trick you into thinking they’re the real deal."
