I am a sole trader with a small business (I make about $35,000 per year). I prepare my taxes by putting all the payments from my clients and my expenses in a spreadsheet. Then I send this off to my tax agent and they do the rest. My tax agent is trying to sell me audit insurance. This is a big expense for me and I do not see the benefit. What is the added benefit? I have all my receipts in a folder, neatly organised. Don't I just hand that over if I am audited? I don't see the added value of insurance.
Hello @Marjandb,
The decision as to whether to tax up a form of insurance is not something we can assist with. However in regards to the audit process you already have a general idea of what will happen. Basically we will ask you to confirm you have the documentation for specific claims and also may require you to explain how you came to your figures.
