The Cut New

The Cut

"The sharpest take on tax law."

The Cut is Macquarie TV's editorial commentary program — cutting through complexity, political noise and technical jargon to deliver sharp, opinionated analysis of the tax developments that matter most to practitioners. Each episode selects the two or three most significant developments of the period and dissects them with clarity, candour and context. This is tax law without the padding.

  • Focused editorial analysis of the most significant tax developments
  • No-jargon commentary on what changes actually mean in practice
  • Critical perspectives on proposed legislation and rulings
  • Practitioner alerts — what you must act on right now
ATO TV New

ATO TV

"Everything the ATO says — curated and explained."

ATO TV monitors, curates and explains the full output of the Australian Taxation Office — from media releases, website updates and taxpayer alerts to consultation papers, practical compliance guidelines and new ATO IDs. Rather than sifting through the ATO's own website, practitioners receive a structured, expert-narrated summary of what the ATO has communicated and what it means for your practice and clients.

  • ATO media releases, alerts and website updates — curated and explained
  • New and updated Practical Compliance Guidelines
  • ATO consultation papers and draft rulings open for comment
  • Taxpayer alerts and tax avoidance register updates
TPB TV New

TPB TV

"Your registration. Your obligations. Explained."

TPB TV is dedicated to the Tax Practitioners Board — covering registration requirements, continuing professional education obligations, the Code of Professional Conduct, disciplinary decisions and all changes to the regulatory framework governing registered tax agents, BAS agents and tax financial advisers. As the TPB's enforcement role expands, every registered agent needs this channel.

  • TPB registration, renewal and ongoing CPE requirements
  • Code of Professional Conduct — updates, guidance and enforcement
  • TPB disciplinary decisions and what they mean for practitioners
  • Regulatory changes affecting registered tax and BAS agents
