Declaration and authority

Before you submit, please read and confirm the following.

I confirm the information I've provided is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

I understand this form is for an initial review only — submitting it doesn't lodge or amend anything with the ATO.

I understand further work (lodgements, amendments, BAS/IAS, instalment variations, registration changes) needs an agreed scope, fee and engagement terms.

I authorise EMK Accounting & Taxation Services to act as my registered tax agent for this initial review and, once ID/agent‑linking steps are complete, to access relevant ATO records on my behalf.
