Information about lodging a compensation claim

I refer to our conversation earlier today in relation to the lodgement 
of a compensation claim against the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).


2.          Please find attached an application for compensation form 
which you may complete in order to lodge a compensation claim against the 
ATO.

3.          The  information  that  the ATO will require in order to 
assess your claim is the following:

            (a)     the  basis  of  the  claim,  focussing  in detail, 
with particulars, on the losses that you consider you have suffered;

            (b)      the details of how you consider these losses have 
been directly caused by the conduct of the Tax Office and or its officers; 
and

           (c)      any documentary evidence of the losses claimed such 
as, a copy of your Bank statement which notes the amount of the Dishonour 
Fee.

 4.           I have attached a copy of an ATO brochure entitled, 
"Claiming Compensation"  for  your  information.  Please  also  note that the 
ATO has further information available on the website at www.ato.gov.au.

 5.           Please  do  not  hesitate  to call me if you would like 
me to clarify or provide you with further information.

Yours sincerely,

Simon
