Hi Tony,
Thanks for getting back to me. I understand all income tax returns are automatically checked as they are processed. But I was wondering how many under 18s have been subject to a manual income tax compliance review, e.g to verify expenses (but not a full scale audit).
My apologies that I was not clear enough in my initial request - hopefully it makes sense now.
Cheers,
Noah.
