What does the ATO do?

  1. Collect the tax that is mandatorily paid by law to support the government to provide services

  2. Protect the environment

  3. Regulate education policies

  4. Ensure public safety

The correct answer is: Collect the tax that is mandatorily paid by law to support the government to provide services

The ATO stands for Australian Taxation Office, and its main responsibility is to collect taxes from individuals and businesses in Australia. This tax is used to support the government in providing essential services such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, and social welfare programs. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not relate to the main function of the ATO. Protecting the environment, regulating education policies, and ensuring public safety are important responsibilities of other government agencies.
