When did you last update your professional association membership details with us? Did you renew or change your membership recently, or did you cease to be a member? Are the membership details you provided to us current and up to date?

Why updating your membership details matter

To comply with your obligation as a registered tax practitioner, you must update your professional association membership details with us, including when you renew, change or cease your membership. 

If you notify us that you are a member of a professional association we are required to publish this on our public register, so it important to ensure these details are up to date and current.

If your registration relies on you being a voting member of a recognised professional association (RPA), you must notify us within 30 days if you renew, change or cease your membership. This affects your registration with us.

The following items in the Tax Agent Services Regulations 2022 (TASR) require a voting membership with an RPA to register as a tax or BAS agent:

• Item 102 - for a BAS agent registration
• Item 206 - for a tax agent registration
• Item 210 - for a tax agent registration to provide tax (financial) advice services.

If you fail to notify us or update your membership details, you may cease to meet a registration requirement or be found to be in breach of the Code of Professional Conduct and sanctions may apply.
