Ex-tax commissioner joins Clean Energy Regulator

Thursday, 28 March, 2013

A former tax commissioner has been appointed as a new member of the Clean Energy Regulator. Michael D’Ascenzo AO will join the Clean Energy Regulator from 2 April 2013, replacing Jennie Granger, who has relocated to the UK.

D’Ascenzo is reportedly recognised internationally for his leadership and expertise in tax administration and governance, as well as his technical and design skills in tax law and superannuation. He has a wealth of public sector experience, including as Commissioner of Taxation.

“Mr D’Ascenzo has extensive public sector experience and expertise,” said Greg Combet, Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency. “His strong background and significant standing in public administration, tax policy and regulatory processes will prove a valuable asset to the Clean Energy Regulator.”

In 2010, D’Ascenzo was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for service to public administration, particularly through reform and innovative engagement with the taxation profession and other government agencies.
