There are a number offactors which appear to seriously undermine the potential for effective internal review. These in- clude failure to modify internal review rules after the change to self assessment, the absence of any obligation for the Commis- sioner to provide detailed reasons for an assessment or objection decision, and the general adherence to internal policies by review * Department of Business Law and Taxation, Faculty of Business and Economics, Monash University, Caulfield Campus.
