In a clarification posted on X (Twitter), the department said it had received reports from taxpayers about inaccuracies in the communications and is working with its service provider to resolve the issue. “Certain taxpayers have received emails containing inaccurate details regarding ‘significant transactions’… the department regrets the inconvenience caused,” it said.
KIND ATTENTION TAXPAYERS!
