Alert Priority High: Increasing reports of myGov related sms and email scams
|
What’s happened?
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is receiving increased reports of several myGov-related SMS and email scams.
At this time of year, when people expect some form of interaction with the ATO during tax time, be aware that cybercriminals take advantage by pretending to be the ATO or myGov. These scams look like they’ve come from a myGov or ATO email address and they ask you to click on a link to verify your details.
To make them seem more legitimate, cybercriminals use technology that causes these messages to appear in the same conversation thread as genuine messages from myGov or ATO addresses. |
More information
The ACSC’s Stay Smart Online program has more advice on how to protect yourself from tax related scams.
To stay up to date on the latest online threats and how to respond, sign up to the ACSC’s Alert Service and follow us on Facebook.
Our Alert Service has a new look and is now called the ‘ACSC alert service.'
You’ll notice from now on you are receiving our alerts from our new email address alerts.staysmartonline@contact.cyber.gov.au
(instead of alerts@staysmartonline.gov.au).
If you’ve been the victim of a cybercrime including financial loss, identity theft or compromised personal details, report it to ReportCyber at www.cyber.gov.au/report.

What’s happened? |
The Australian Government is currently aware of, and responding to, a sustained targeting of Australian governments and companies by a sophisticated state-based actor.
A range of tactics, techniques and procedures are being used to target multiple Australian networks. It’s important that Australian companies are alert to this threat and take steps to enhance the resilience of their networks. Cyber security is everyone’s responsibility. |

Accounting Advice
The instant asset write-off will be extended by a further six months to 31st of December 2020
The scheme provides immediate tax deductions for small and medium-sized businesses, rather than a depreciation model over several years.
Businesses with an annual turnover of less than $500 million per annum are able to take advantage of the extended scheme, expected to cost $300 million. Some 3.5 million businesses are eligible.
Assets purchased can be new or second hand, and the threshold for each asset is $150,000 (up from the previous $30,000).
The threshold was to have been lowered to $1000 on 1 July, but the extension of the scheme has deferred this change for the moment.
Further information and eligibility criteria can be found on the ATO website here (although I note the end date hasn't been updated yet):
