The Australian Tax Office is funding universities to trial tax clinics, where people without their own professional advice can receive assistance from tax students, supervised by academic staff. The trial follows a Curtin U initiative, where the university, supported by industry partners helps people who have problems understanding what the ATO is telling them. Assistant Treasurer Stuart Robert says ten unis are in the trial, ANU, Charles Darwin U, Curtin U, Griffith U, James Cook U, Uni Adelaide, Uni Melbourne, UNSW, U Tas and Western Sydney U.
