My 2 cents worth Why are you chasing this, rather than your tax agent? If you have the original 2009 tax assessment, and it has been paid, what is the problem. If there is a problem it is the responsibility of your tax agent to sort it out, and probably at no cost to you. I do have one question, when you state your 2009 tax return, you do mean the year 01.07.2008 to 30.06.2009. Is it possible that the ATO is questioning the lodgement of another year, ie 2009 to 2010 etc. It seems ludicrous that you hold a tax assessment but the ATO says you have not lodged. Was there an error in the lodgement that was subsequently rejected, and if so the assessment would require an amended assessment. Alternatively you should send a copy of the assessment to the ATO with a letter requesting an explanation.Otherwise it sounds dodgy to say the least. There is also the possibility that even though the return was lodged electronically, a bug allowed it to slip through the system with the assessment, but subsequently the whole thing was rejected. good luck
