The Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) has terminated the registration of Can Do Accounting Services Pty Ltd, after uncovering serious breaches of the Code of Professional Conduct.

The TPB found that the company’s director, Ruaidhri Carslake, who was not a registered tax agent, had falsely listed supervising agents without their consent and lodged more than 3,000 tax returns without adequate supervision or control.  The Board determined that Mr Carslake was not a fit and proper person to provide tax agent services.

As a result, Can Do Accounting’s registration was terminated, and the firm has been banned from reapplying for registration for two years.

The TPB reminded clients of the importance of verifying their agent’s registration on the TPB register and reinforced that registered practitioners must maintain proper supervision and control over all tax services provided under their authority.
