Hi,

I was taken to court by the ATO for late submission/ payment of tax returns. The magistrate dismissed on a Section 10 but I was given a good behaviour bond. This was approx 2.5 years ago in NSW court.

In applying for a new job employers will conduct a background and criminal history check through a third party. As no conviction was recorded against me (but did have the good behaviour bond) will this show up and present me with problems in employer background checks?

If so, is there any way to have it removed?

Thanks

I believe (not 100% sure) but no conviction mean it will not appear except to the police/courts/other government agencies.
