Dear Channa, Re: Exposure Draft 02/24 Proposed Standard: APES 220 Taxation Services Thank you for the opportunity to comment on Exposure Draft 02/24. IPA supports the range of proposed amendments to APES 220 Taxation Services to: ��� incorporate proposed Tax Planning and Related Services amendments to APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (APES 110) ��� incorporate conforming amendments to align with APES 110 ��� update references to APES 320 Quality Management for Firms that provide Non-Assurance Services ��� address matters on the Issues Register relating to confidentiality and supervision arrangements for tax lodgement services. IPA also supports the proposed effective date of 1 July 2025, with earlier adoption permitted. Other Matter We note that paragraph 1.7 of APES 220 states that ���the Standard is not intended to detract from any responsibilities which may be imposed by law or regulation���. Consistent with this objective, in order to ensure consistency between APES 220 and the Tax Agents Services Act 2009 (TASA) ecosystem, including Ministerial Directions which may be issued from time-to-time, APESB should undertake periodic reviews of APES 220 to ensure requirements align with the legislative framework applicable to registered BAS/tax practitioners. If you have any queries with respect to our comments or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact Erik Hopp at erik.hopp@australianaccountants.org.au or on 03 8665 3144.
